If you’re running an online business in 2025, this week’s announcement should be on your radar.

ChatGPT has launched “Buy it in ChatGPT” — a fully integrated shopping experience that includes product photos, pricing, direct links, and even instant checkout. With 700 million weekly users now able to complete purchases without ever leaving the platform, we’re watching a fundamental shift in how people discover and buy products online.

Why This Matters for Your Business

The numbers tell the story. ChatGPT’s massive user base can now go from “I need a new laptop bag” to checkout in a single conversation. Industry insiders are predicting Shopify integration before Black Friday, which would open the floodgates even wider.

For businesses with online stores, the critical question isn’t whether this matters — it’s whether ChatGPT will recommend your products when potential customers are searching.

Getting Your Products Discovered

Understanding how to optimize your products for AI-powered search is becoming essential. This means focusing on everything from technical elements like schema markup and product feeds to the copy and authority signals that AI systems actually use to make recommendations.

This Goes Beyond Ecommerce

Even if you don’t sell physical products, this trend is coming for you. Local businesses, lead generation, and software companies will be next. The patterns emerging in AI-powered shopping will reshape how customers find and choose service providers across every industry.

The businesses that adapt early will have a significant advantage. Those that wait may find themselves invisible in the conversations where buying decisions are being made.
