"I just triggered a product from Etsy with Instant Checkout possible in ChatGPT. It was pretty slick. and very easy to buy. Uses your credit card on file but you can pay via another source. I didn't complete the purchase since I was just testing it out but this could be a big way for OpenAI to drive affiliate revenue. That's if people are comfortable buying this way (w/out visiting the site and reviewing everything there). Note you can visit the site via ChatGPT (there were several links there to see reviews visit the product page etc.) Will be interesting to follow"

But then they also say "Merchants are ranked based on availability price quality whether they are the maker or primary seller of that item and *whether Instant Checkout"
