Right now, though, product discovery inside ChatGPT is gaining traction faster than purchases. That suggests AI-powered shopping is only influencing the consideration stage (at least for now), not driving conversions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What happened.<\/strong> OpenAI had planned to let shoppers buy products directly from listings in ChatGPT search results. Instead, an OpenAI spokesperson said that Instant Checkout is moving to Apps, where purchases happen inside connected services rather than natively in ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The company will now prioritize product search and discovery inside ChatGPT. <\/li>\n<li>It will also keep working with S<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>e on the Agentic Commerce Protocol to support app-based transactions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What changed:<\/strong> OpenAI found that users research products in ChatGPT but don\u2019t complete purchases there. Only a small number of merchants were actively using native ChatGPT checkout, according to the report.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In September, OpenAI positioned Instant Checkout as a big commerce opportunity. At the time, it said U.S. users could buy from Etsy sellers inside ChatGPT, with plans to expand to Shopify merchants, add multi-item carts, and roll out beyond the U.S.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Meanwhile<\/strong>. Shopify president Harley Finkelstein said this week that only about a dozen Shopify merchants were using AI tools, despite Shopify supporting integrations with ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot. That\u2019s tiny relative to Shopify\u2019s overall merchant base.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to watch<\/strong>. Can OpenAI make ChatGPT more valuable as a shopping discovery engine without owning the final transaction? Also, how does OpenAI\u2019s commerce strategy intersect with its advertising ambitions? If transactions stay outside ChatGPT, monetizing product discovery through ads could become even more important.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why this is happening.<\/strong> Two forces are slowing agentic commerce, according to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lmckenzie16\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leigh McKenzie<\/a>, director of online visibility at Semrush: infrastructure and trust.
