Shopify expands ad network to display merchant ads in ChatGPT

by | Feb 24, 2026 | Latest E-commerce News & Updates

Shopify started arranging for advertisements to promote its merchants within ChatGPT as part of an expansion of its “Shop Campaigns” network. The e-commerce platform is purchasing ad space on the chatbot to display products from clients who are paying only when a purchase occurs. OpenAI began testing the new advertising format earlier this month, as other major retailers like Target are also buying inventory on behalf of smaller brands.
