ChatGPT becomes shopping destination with GoKwik, PayU integration
ChatGPT is now a shopping destination thanks to a new integration with GoKwik and PayU.
This integration allows users to shop directly within ChatGPT by typing natural language queries like 'Suggest skincare for dry skin' or 'Find a self-care gift hamper under ₹2,000.'
ChatGPT will then show relevant products, help compare options, create a shopping cart, and guide users through checkout without leaving the conversation.
GoKwik provides the commerce infrastructure, enabling product discovery and order placement, while PayU handles the payment layer, supporting various payment methods like UPI, debit/credit cards, net banking, and digital wallets.
This integration aims to make shopping more convenient and conversational, benefiting both consumers and D2C brands by increasing discoverability and streamlining the shopping process.
