OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet for agent purchases

OpenAI announced ChatGPT Wallet, a payment feature that lets its agents buy things on a user's behalf. OpenAI says purchases need user approval and keep existing card protections. It starts as a limited rollout for US Pro subscribers.

Who should care

Developers building agent shopping or checkout flows, and ChatGPT Pro users in the US.

Why it matters: Developers building agents in ChatGPT Work or Codex can let them complete purchases with user approval, but only for US Pro subscribers at first.

Key facts

Users must be over 18
