Strategy Simplified S20E30: PayPal plugs into ChatGPT for E-Commerce
Namaan and Jenny Rae break down PayPal’s new integration with ChatGPT and what it means for e commerce.
They cover how checkout could live inside AI, who wins and loses across retailers and suppliers, and why PayPal’s first dividend signals a new chapter.
They also map OpenAI’s business model today. Subscriptions. Enterprise licensing. Future transaction fees. Possible ads. What shifts when 800 million people use ChatGPT weekly.
