ChatGPT dots now handle approved purchases
OpenAI’s dots can complete purchases through ChatGPT Wallet after users review the merchant, items, total, card, and terms, then approve with biometric verification. Checkout uses a tokenized virtual card, keeping actual card details hidden from the merchant and agent.
This is a meaningful step from AI assistants that recommend products to agents that can execute transactions, but authorization mistakes now matter as much as hallucinations.
- –Tokenized payment credentials reduce exposure of users’ real card numbers.
- –Explicit purchase review and biometric approval create a critical human checkpoint.
- –Developers building agentic commerce will need precise consent scopes, transaction previews, and audit trails.
- –Availability is initially limited to eligible U.S. Pro users, cards, and supported checkout flows.
- –A “ready to check out” status still does not guarantee that the merchant completed the order.
