PayPal announced a partnership with OpenAI to integrate its payment services into ChatGPT starting in 2026. Users will be able to use PayPal's wallet and Instant Checkout feature to make purchases directly through the AI platform, accessing their usual payment methods, shipping, and contact information. This integration follows OpenAI's recent addition of a 'Buy Now' button and Instant Checkout feature in ChatGPT, and will utilize OpenAI's Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP).
