ChatGPT Ads

Sponsored product cards inside ChatGPT answers, set up, run and measured for Shopify brands, with your product feed, your tracking and your margins behind every campaign.

What’s included

  • Account and tracking setup

    Your Ads Manager account configured, the conversions API or pixel sending purchases from Shopify, and a test order checked end to end before any money is spent.

  • Product feed

    Your Shopify catalogue connected as a product feed, with low-margin, low-stock and poorly reviewed products filtered out so the budget goes to what you want to sell.

  • Campaigns by buyer question

    Campaigns grouped around the questions your buyers ask on the way to a purchase, one intent per ad group, with exclusions written down so the same budget is not chasing two jobs.

  • Copy that reads like an answer

    Short headlines and two-sentence descriptions with one real proof point and one real offer, using your actual prices, photos and review scores. Nothing that sounds like a banner ad dropped into a conversation.

  • Honest measurement

    Platform-reported conversions, what GA4 sees across channels, and what Shopify's own orders show, side by side. A research channel often converts later and elsewhere, so we report all three rather than the flattering one.

  • Weekly optimisation and a monthly review

    Weak campaigns paused, strong ones given more budget, copy refreshed when it tires, and a monthly call on whether the channel is earning its place against the rest of your spend.

The service

What it is, and why it matters.

ChatGPT now shows ads. Since February 2026, people on the Free and Go plans see a labelled, sponsored card under some answers, matched to what the conversation is about rather than to a keyword someone typed. Since May, advertisers have been able to buy those placements themselves in OpenAI's Ads Manager, bid on clicks, run ads from a product feed, and send purchase data back through a conversions API. We run that channel for Shopify brands: the account and tracking setup, the product feed, the campaigns grouped by what buyers are actually asking about, the copy, and the weekly work of moving budget towards what sells.

Why it matters for your store

It is a channel where someone is asking for a recommendation at the moment the ad appears, which is closer to a shop assistant than to a feed. It is also new, which cuts both ways: there is less competition for the placements than on Google or Meta, and there is less history to tell you what a good result looks like for your category. So we treat it as a measured test with a written budget and a stop rule, not a bet. If your products are the kind people research before buying (home office, fitness, kitchen, skincare, electronics, gifting), it is worth finding out early. If they are cheap, impulse or staple items, we will tell you to wait.

How we work

How we do it.

  1. Step 01

    Fit check

    We look at your category, your margins and your current channels, and agree whether a test is worth running, at what budget, and what result would count as a pass.

  2. Step 02

    Setup and tracking

    Account, conversions tracking and product feed set up and tested with a real order before launch.

  3. Step 03

    Launch

    The first campaigns go live around your highest-margin products and the questions buyers ask about them.

  4. Step 04

    Measure and adjust

    Weekly changes to budget, campaigns and copy, reported against Shopify's own order data as well as the platform's.

  5. Step 05

    Decide

    At the end of the agreed test we recommend scaling, changing course or stopping, with the numbers that led to it.

Questions

Common questions.

Who sees ChatGPT ads?

People using ChatGPT on the Free and Go plans. OpenAI does not show ads on its paid Plus, Pro, Team, Business or Enterprise plans. The ads appear as labelled sponsored cards under an answer.

How are the ads targeted if there are no keywords?

They are matched to the context of the conversation rather than to a typed keyword. In practice that means grouping your products around the questions buyers ask on the way to buying, rather than building keyword lists.

What budget do we need?

Enough for the test to tell you something. For most stores we suggest a fixed test budget over four to eight weeks and agree the stop rule before launch. Below a few thousand dollars a month in ad spend, running it yourself in Ads Manager is usually the better first step, and we will say so.

Do we need to be on Shopify?

No, but it is quicker. A Shopify catalogue becomes a clean product feed with little work; other platforms need the feed built by hand first.

Can you promise a return on ad spend?

No. The channel is new and results vary a lot by category. What we promise is a test designed to give you a clear answer, measured against your own Shopify orders, and a straight recommendation at the end of it.

Does OpenAI share my customers' conversations?

No. Advertisers receive aggregated performance data, not access to anyone's conversations.
