What changed in 2026
People ask AI assistants for help with almost everything, including who to hire. The assistants answer with names and links. When it comes to payment, the rules are strict.
OpenAI's guidelines for ChatGPT apps allow commerce only for physical goods, with checkout on the seller's own site. Anthropic's directory does not list software that executes financial transactions for users. OpenAI also retired Instant Checkout in March 2026, so purchases now finish on the seller's side.
So a designer, a developer or a salon can be recommended, but the assistant cannot take the order. The client has to leave the chat and start again somewhere else.
One connector for every seller
Payleor Network is a connector. A client adds it to Claude or ChatGPT once, by its address. From then on, their AI can search every seller on the network: services, courses, downloads and goods.
No seller builds an app or passes a platform review. We do that work once, for everyone on the network.
The AI never pays
Payleor Network keeps the money out of the chat. The AI can find sellers, ask questions, request quotes and fill a cart. It cannot commit the client to anything.
- To accept a quote, the client presses a button on a card.
- To accept a delivery, the client presses a button on a card.
- To pay, the client opens Payleor's pay page and approves the payment in PayPal.
This fits the platforms' rules, which target selling inside the chat. It also gives the seller a clear record of consent.
A record for work with no tracking number
A parcel has a tracking number. A logo does not. Payleor keeps the agreed scope, every change, each delivery and the client's answers on the project. Both sides see the same record.
Money after the sale
Most checkouts stop at the payment. Paid work often starts there. Payleor asks for the deposit, asks for the balance when the client accepts the delivery, and pays each member of a team their share by the rules the team set. The money goes through PayPal, and Payleor never holds it.
What it costs a seller
Sellers pay their plan and a small fee on each payment. When the network brings a new client, Payleor takes 5% of that first project, once. After that, the client is the seller's own.
For comparison, Gumroad's Discover marketplace takes 30% of each sale it brings, on every sale.
Questions
Is Payleor Network in the ChatGPT or Claude directory?
Not yet. Clients add it by its address, api.payleor.com/mcp. Directory listings come after the platforms' review.
Can the AI spend the client's money?
No. Every payment needs the client's approval in PayPal, on Payleor's page.
Who can be found on the network?
Freelancers, agencies, stores and studios on Payleor. Every offering is listed by default, and sellers can take any of them off.
