For merchants, the partnership opens new opportunities. PayPal’s ACP server will connect tens of millions of small businesses and major retail brands directly to ChatGPT without requiring individual integrations.

Behind the scenes, PayPal will manage merchant routing, payment validation, and orchestration.
Beyond commerce, PayPal is also expanding its use of AI in partnership with OpenAI. The company will scale access to ChatGPT Enterprise for its 24,000 employees, use Codex to support engineers, and integrate more of OpenAI’s APIs.
