🚨FLASH🚨 ChatGPT - New Integrated Checkout Experience Powered ChatGPT Plug-ins Discovered! ✨LIVE BestBuy Checkout Demo and Walk Through..

14 weeks ‘til Thanksgiving and we have our first big move of the Holiday Agentic chess board!

The quick history of ChatGPT and checkouts has been:

• Phase I: ChatGPT announced in 2025 they were doing their own checkout, ACP, etc.

• Phase II: ChatGPT abandoned/paused that in Spring 2026 in favor of ChatGPT apps integration - this was not, ummm, how best to say it, “an ideal customer experience”. In engineering parlance it was Janky.

• Phase III: Begins today! ChatGPT apps have been renamed to Plug-ins for a while and now there’s a new, much more integrated experience. We’ve been able to finish the first checkout from start to finish. Let’s jump in!

Detailed Walk Through

It all starts, as always in Agentic Commerce with an offer card. Here I’m looking for a monitor→

When I click on the Samsung 34” I have this offer card→

You’ll note that BestBuy stands out with the “Open” button.

Initiating checkout via open button

When you click on that button, it pretty quickly pops up a ‘in-flow’ checkout experience→

From there you enter your shipping→

And then payment

And you are done.

Conclusion

This is a very clean and basic checkout. Yes it’s one item, no there’s no loyalty, but this is a foundational very good experience that is at/beyond the ACP experience. From here it’s not a huge lift to add multi-cart and loyalty connects, etc. We’ll be watching to see if they go there next - stay tuned!

Thanks!

Thanks to our friend Joe, the Agentic Commerce Sleuth for the tip on this one and pointing us the right way!
