Make your products easy for OpenAI's systems to read and trust: let its crawlers reach your product pages, publish structured product data with real prices and stock, write specific titles and descriptions, and - for ChatGPT shopping - provide a product feed in OpenAI's format and apply through OpenAI's merchant program. You control the data; OpenAI decides what ChatGPT shows.

Make your product pages easy for OpenAI's systems to read and trust. Let its crawlers (OAI-SearchBot and GPTBot) reach your pages, add structured product data with real prices and availability, write specific titles and descriptions, and apply to OpenAI's merchant program with a product feed. If you use Pludor, your product pages already carry structured data and your store is published in a live AI shopping feed in OpenAI's product shape.
Yes - ChatGPT search reads the web through OpenAI's crawler, OAI-SearchBot, and GPTBot is used for training. If you block OAI-SearchBot in robots.txt or your CDN bot settings, your pages stay out of ChatGPT search results. Check both your robots.txt file and any firewall or CDN bot rules to make sure neither is blocked.
GPTBot is OpenAI's crawler for training its models, while OAI-SearchBot is the crawler used for ChatGPT search results. Blocking OAI-SearchBot keeps your pages out of ChatGPT search; blocking GPTBot only affects training data. If you want your products discoverable in ChatGPT, allow OAI-SearchBot in robots.txt and your CDN settings.
OpenAI has introduced ways for merchants to sell in ChatGPT through its Agentic Commerce Protocol and merchant program. You provide a product feed in OpenAI's format and apply through OpenAI, but eligibility and approval are OpenAI's decisions. On Pludor, your store's products are already published in that feed shape at pludor.com/ai/products.jsonl.
Publish product schema with name, image, price, currency and availability on each product page, and keep prices and stock current - stale offers get dropped. Write specific titles and descriptions covering what it's made of, sizes, who it's for, shipping and returns, because AI assistants quote pages that answer clearly. Real buyer reviews also give AI assistants something to cite.
The most common reason is vague or missing information - fix specific product titles and descriptions with real prices first. Also check that OAI-SearchBot isn't blocked, that your structured data is complete, and that prices and stock are current. Keep in mind that whether and where ChatGPT shows your product is ultimately OpenAI's decision, not yours.
Run a GEO or AEO audit to see your pages the way an AI crawler sees them - Pludor offers these audits free. They show whether crawlers can reach your pages and whether your content is ready to be cited as an answer. You can also try Pludor's free 'Get Your Business on ChatGPT' tool to check if ChatGPT can recommend your products.
Yes - product schema with name, image, price, currency and availability helps AI systems read and trust your offers. Without it, assistants often skip your product because they can't verify what you sell or what it costs. Pludor product pages include structured data automatically, so you don't have to add it yourself.
Making your pages readable - structured data, clear titles, allowing crawlers - costs nothing but your time. OpenAI's merchant program has its own application process and rules set by OpenAI. Pludor's free plan includes structured product pages and inclusion in its AI shopping feed, and you can start a store with no card and no item limit.
Write specific product titles and descriptions with real prices. Vague or missing information is the most common reason AI assistants skip a product. After that, keep prices and stock current and add real buyer reviews, since stale offers get dropped and reviews give assistants something to cite.
