OpenAI's agents can now make purchases for users through ChatGPT Wallet, with biometric approval required per purchase.
- Users save a debit/credit card once; the agent pays with a token replacing the real card number, keeping card details away from both merchants and the agent while preserving rewards and protections
- Built with American Express, Mastercard, and Visa; OpenAI also released merchant guidance for accepting agent payments
- Narrow initial access: US Pro subscribers aged 18+ with eligible US-issued cards
- Later plans: full purchase delegation with spending limits and categories instead of per-purchase approval
- OpenAI warns some websites and fraud systems may still block agent purchases
