OpenAI Cancels ChatGPT's Built-in Shopping Checkout Feature; Partners Adjust Strategies

OpenAI recently canceled the Instant Checkout built-in shopping feature in ChatGPT, forcing partners like PayPal and Etsy to adjust their original plans. PayPal had planned to integrate its wallet into the checkout process—while its procurement commitments remain valid, its transaction fee income is lost. Etsy is shifting to develop its own ChatGPT app; Stripe is less affected and continues to advance the AI transaction protocol. Additionally, OpenAI will retain a limited checkout function, only available in retailers' exclusive apps. Meanwhile, the video generation tool Sora is planned to be merged into the main ChatGPT app, which may affect its authorization agreement with Disney.
