Etsy and Wayfair are currently live, with Shopify, Target, and Walmart joining soon.

AI Mode on Google and Chrome will enhance visibility, potentially succeeding where Buy on Google struggled.

Shopify stores are now live on ChatGPT. Only Glossier, SKIMS, and Spanx for now but I expect this will ramp up very quickly. The black Buy button is new – it allows buying without leaving ChatGPT… | Juozas Kaziukėnas

🛒 Shopify stores, including Glossier, SKIMS, and Spanx, are now live on ChatGPT. Users can make purchases via a new black Buy button without leaving the platform. This feature was announced nearly two months ago alongside an Etsy integration and briefly tested three weeks ago. Currently, there is no support for Shop Pay or Afterpay installment payments. While functional, issues such as incorrect product categorization and missing discount information persist. Glossier faces challenges with customer retargeting and marketing communication restrictions.
