See ChatGPT Shopping in Action

Watch how ChatGPT surfaces products, compares options, and completes purchases — all inside the chat. This is where your customers are going.

A New Way Buyers Discover Products

ChatGPT Shopping lets users find, compare, and purchase products directly inside a conversation — no Google, no brand websites, no paid ads. The AI surfaces the most relevant, trusted products based on user intent, product data quality, and brand authority.

Unlike Google Shopping where bids determine visibility, ChatGPT Shopping ranks products on data quality, relevance, and trust signals. There are zero paid placements — every ranking is earned.

🔗 Powered by ACP + Stripe

The Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) — built jointly by OpenAI and Stripe — handles the entire checkout flow. Merchants using Stripe can enable Instant Checkout with minimal code changes, allowing customers to buy without ever leaving the ChatGPT interface.

Products Discovered Naturally in Conversation

When a user asks ChatGPT to help them find a product, it doesn't return a list of links — it presents a curated shopping carousel with prices, ratings, and a direct buy button. Your product either appears or it doesn't. There's no middle ground.

Getting into that carousel requires a correctly structured merchant feed, merchant portal approval, and the right data signals. We handle all of it.

Everything You Need to Get Found

From initial merchant portal application to ongoing feed optimisation — we manage the complete lifecycle of your ChatGPT Shopping presence.

🛍️
Service 01

Merchant Portal Application

The first step is getting approved on the ChatGPT merchant platform. We handle the full application, compliance checks, and approval process on your behalf.

  • End-to-end portal application management
  • Business verification & compliance review
  • Category eligibility assessment
  • Shopify and non-Shopify platform setup
  • Priority queue positioning for UK rollout
  • Application status monitoring & resubmission if needed
📡
Service 02

Product Feed Build & Setup

ChatGPT Shopping requires a structured merchant feed in CSV, TSV, XML, JSON, or JSONL format. We build and configure your feed to meet every required and recommended field specification.

  • Full feed build in your required format
  • All required fields mapped (title, price, image, GTIN, etc.)
  • is_eligible_search & is_eligible_checkout flags configured
  • 15-minute automated refresh pipeline

We provide continuous visibility into where your products appear, which queries trigger your listings, and how your performance compares to competitors — with monthly strategy reviews.

  • Shopping visibility tracking dashboard
  • Query-level appearance and frequency monitoring
  • Merchant layer optimisation (retail partner performance)
  • Ongoing feed health monitoring & alerts
  • Monthly competitive intelligence reports
  • Strategy reviews as ChatGPT Shopping evolves
Service 04

Feed Optimisation

Being listed is just the start. Ranking well requires ongoing optimisation of your product data — the signals ChatGPT uses to decide which products to surface for which queries.

  • Product title & description optimisation for AI intent matching
  • Attribute accuracy audit — fix categorisation & suppression
  • Review & rating signal enhancement
  • SKU-level performance analysis
  • AI Shopper sentiment analysis — how ChatGPT describes your products
  • Competitor gap analysis — queries where you're missing

The ChatGPT Shopping Checkout Flow

From natural language query to completed purchase — all inside ChatGPT. Here's the journey your customers take, and what needs to be in place at each step.

💬
User Expresses Purchase Intent
A user asks ChatGPT something like "find me the best running shoes under £100" or "I need a standing desk for a small home office". Natural language — no keyword stuffing required.
🛒
ChatGPT Detects Buying Intent & Surfaces Product Carousel
ChatGPT identifies the commercial intent and pulls ranked product listings from its merchant feed index. Products are ranked by relevance, data quality, reviews, and AI trust signals — not bids.
👆
User Selects a Product — "Buy" Button Appears
For merchants who have enabled Instant Checkout via the Stripe/ACP integration, a Buy button appears directly in the carousel. The user never needs to leave ChatGPT.
ChatGPT Confirms Order Details In-Chat
Shipping address, payment method (stored securely via encrypted, scoped payment tokens), and order summary are confirmed inside the conversation. No separate checkout page.
🔗
Order Transmitted via ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol)
The Agentic Commerce Protocol — built by OpenAI and Stripe — securely transmits the order to your merchant backend. For Stripe users, implementation requires minimal code changes.
🎉
Purchase Complete — Order Confirmed in ChatGPT
The order is placed, confirmed in the chat, and visible in the user's ChatGPT order history. Your fulfilment process begins as normal. Zero friction. Zero redirects.

The UK Rollout Is Coming — Are You Ready?

ChatGPT Shopping launched globally in April 2025. The UK rollout is anticipated in Q1–Q2 2026. Businesses that optimise now will have a structural head start when the feature goes live to UK consumers.

Global Launch
ChatGPT Shopping launched for US users. Merchant portal opened at chatgpt.com/merchants.

Q1–Q2 2026

Beyond 2026

⏰ Why Act Now?

UK businesses that apply to the merchant portal, build their feed, and establish trust signals before the consumer launch will rank higher from day one. ChatGPT's ranking algorithm rewards established merchants with clean data history — the same advantage early Google Shopping adopters had in 2012. Don't be late again.
