What happened
OpenAI launched ChatGPT Wallet on 13 November 2026 for eligible US Pro users, with agents (dots) executing purchases via American Express, Mastercard and Visa tokenised cards. Each purchase needs explicit customer approval through Face ID or fingerprint, and OpenAI plans to add pre-approved purchases with spending, category or time limits later. OpenAI holds no funds, and merchants must detect genuine agent traffic. No Wallet fee has been disclosed, against the 4% per sale charged under the 2025 Instant Checkout. Watch whether retailers accept agent orders, and whether Meta's Muse, which reported over 10 million setups, and Amazon's September block on Muse shape agent access.
