Perplexity AI announced on May 14, 2025, a partnership with PayPal to enable direct purchases within its chat interface. This collaboration aims to allow U.S. customers to book travel, buy products, and secure concert tickets without leaving the Perplexity platform.
Payments will be completed directly within the chat using PayPal or Venmo, leveraging PayPal's one-click passkey checkout for a seamless experience. PayPal will handle the processing, shipping, tracking, and invoicing for these transactions.
This strategic alliance positions PayPal at the forefront of 'agentic commerce,' where AI agents can manage and complete shopping tasks on behalf of users. It represents a significant step in integrating payment capabilities into advanced AI-driven shopping experiences, enhancing user convenience and potentially driving new transaction volumes.
