Sam Altman-led OpenAI may integrate commission system in ChatGPT shopping feature
OpenAI is reportedly planning to take a commission from online product sales made directly within ChatGPT, as the Sam Altman-led company actively works to expand its e-commerce capabilities in pursuit of new revenue streams. As per the current model, the San Francisco-based AI company displays products on its platform with links that redirect users to external online retailers. OpenAI also established a partnership with payments group Shopify in April.
Citing multiple sources familiar with the proposals, a report by The Financial Times claims that OpenAI intends to integrate a full checkout system directly into ChatGPT. This would allow users to complete transactions entirely within the platform.
