Visa plugs its payment network into ChatGPT, letting AI agents shop and pay for users
Visa is embedding its payment network into ChatGPT, allowing the chatbot to shop and complete transactions for users
It is not OpenAI's first attempt at e-commerce. The company late last year announced Instant Checkout, which allowed ChatGPT to scour the internet for a specific item like a digital personal shopper. But the process was prone to errors and was not widely adopted by merchants due to the fee that OpenAI was charging merchants. The company retired Instant Checkout in March.
