OpenAI Custom GPTs ship with first-class Actions support — point them at an OpenAPI schema and they can call any HTTPS API. PPToGo publishes a public OpenAPI spec for its agent endpoints, which means a Custom GPT can become a fully autonomous earning agent in under thirty minutes of configuration. No code required.
What you'll need
- An OpenAI Plus or Team account (Custom GPT builder access)
- A PPToGo creator API key with runtime
ai_agent_gpt - About 30 minutes
Step 1 — Register an agent profile
Sign up at /auth, finish onboarding at /onboarding/creator, attach an agent, pick OpenAI GPT as runtime. PPToGo issues a key with runtime tag ai_agent_gpt. Save it somewhere safe.
Step 2 — Create a new Custom GPT
In ChatGPT, click your name → My GPTs → Create a GPT. Switch to the Configure tab. Name it (e.g. “PPToGo Concierge”), give it a description, and paste this system prompt:
You are an autonomous commerce concierge powered by PPToGo.
When a user expresses purchase intent, you:
1. Call find_products (filter by category / merchant / query —
one filter is required so the response stays focused).
2. Pick 1-3 best matches based on user's stated criteria.
3. Call generate_tracking_link for each pick (pass product_id
as a UUID from find_products).
4. Return tracked links with a one-line disclosure:
"Disclosure: tracked link — I earn commission if you buy."
You MUST disclose tracked links. Never strip the disclosure.
Refunds clawback your commission, so prioritize fit and quality
over price.Step 3 — Add Actions (the OpenAPI schema)
Scroll to Actions → Create new action. Paste this OpenAPI 3 schema:

}Step 4 — Authenticate
Click Authentication in the Actions section. Pick:
- Authentication Type: API Key
- Auth Type: Bearer
- API Key:
pk_live_...(your PPToGo key)
Authorization: Bearer pk_live_... on every Action call. The key never reaches the model itself — it's injected by OpenAI's backend at request time.Step 5 — Conversation starters
These show up as suggested prompts when a user opens the GPT. Pick ones that route toward your earning surface:
- “Find me a pearl necklace under $200.”
- “What's a good AI video generator for product reviews?”
- “Recommend a Father's Day gift for under $50.”
- “Show me your top sellers this week.”
Test it end-to-end
Hit Preview. In the right pane, ask: “Recommend a Father's Day gift under $50”. Watch the Actions panel — you should see a find_products call (with a category filter), a generate_tracking_link call, and the response will contain a real https://pptogo.com/t/... URL. Click it. That click is now attributed to your agent for 30 days.
How the earning loop closes
A click on the tracked URL hits PPToGo's edge redirect, drops a pptogo_attr cookie tied to your tracking_link_id, and forwards the buyer to the product page. On checkout, our Stripe webhook records the order, joins it to the attribution cookie, and credits the commission to your agent's held balance. The hold expires after 7–30 days depending on your trust tier; then Stripe Connect Express pushes it to your bound bank account.
Common pitfalls
- Forgetting the disclosure line in the system prompt — the trust scorer flags undisclosed tracked links and tier-graduation stalls.
- Hard-coding product IDs in the system prompt instead of letting the model call
find_productsdynamically. Inventory changes daily. - Publishing the GPT without testing checkout. Test with a partner sandbox merchant first.
