Selling products with ChatGPT

Selling products with ChatGPT — prepare your store catalog for ChatGPT and OpenAI Commerce

OpenAI Product Feed for CS-Cart helps prepare your products for search, discovery, and product listings in OpenAI Commerce and ChatGPT.

The add-on collects the CS-Cart catalog, generates a compatible product feed, and publishes the files at dedicated URLs. You do not have to assemble JSONL files or handle product, variant, metadata, and link structures by hand.

Why the add-on matters

OpenAI Commerce and ChatGPT product scenarios need a properly prepared catalog. A standard marketplace or CS-Cart export may not include the required structure, product links, images, prices, inventory, categories, and metadata.

This add-on turns the CS-Cart catalog into an OpenAI-compatible product feed for use in the OpenAI ecosystem.

What the add-on does

Generates a product feed in the required format
The add-on creates a product feed in jsonl.gz, compatible with the OpenAI Commerce Product / Variant structure.

Creates a header metadata file
Alongside the main feed, the add-on generates a header metadata file and publishes it at a separate URL.

Publishes files automatically
The generated feed files are available at dedicated URLs for the next integration steps.

Works from the CS-Cart admin panel
An administrator can choose a storefront, generate the feed, and obtain the file URLs without preparing them manually.

Supports CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor
The add-on works with both CS-Cart stores and Multi-Vendor projects.

Supports storefronts
The export runs in the context of the selected storefront and supports the storefront switcher for multi-storefront projects.

Handles product variations
If your store uses product_variations, the add-on groups child variations under the parent product and keeps the catalog structure intact.

Supports SFTP publishing
If needed, the feed files can also be published via SFTP.

What data goes into the feed

The add-on exports the key data needed for product listings and search:

• product names;
• descriptions;
• prices;
• images;
• categories;
• inventory;
• product links;
• product variation data;
• seller policy links;
• storefront details.

Who the add-on is for

The add-on suits CS-Cart store and marketplace owners who want to:

• prepare their catalog for OpenAI Commerce;
• prepare products for ChatGPT discovery and search;
• get an OpenAI-compatible product feed;
• avoid building the feed by hand;
• export a catalog with storefronts and variations;
• use a solution built into the CS-Cart admin panel.

For Multi-Vendor projects

The add-on can be used in Multi-Vendor projects to prepare products from multiple sellers, with links, categories, prices, and inventory data.

This helps marketplaces prepare their catalogs for new search and discovery channels without rebuilding the platform.

Important to know

The add-on focuses on catalog export, discovery and search scenarios.

It does not add checkout in ChatGPT or implement payment, shipping, or order creation through OpenAI Commerce.

In short, it prepares and delivers the catalog; it does not replace a full checkout integration.

Outcome

After setup, you receive a product feed for OpenAI scenarios:

• the main feed file in jsonl.gz;
• a separate header metadata file;
• public URLs for both files;
• generation from the CS-Cart admin panel;
• support for storefronts, Multi-Vendor, and product variations.

This is a practical way to prepare a CS-Cart catalog for OpenAI Commerce and ChatGPT discovery without assembling feeds or data structures manually.
