Yes, they can. OpenAI rolled out a new beta feature that lets retail advertisers upload product feeds directly into the ChatGPT Ads Manager. The system automatically generates ads for each product in your catalog.
This marks a significant shift for ChatGPT advertising. Instead of building campaigns item by item, retailers can now upload their entire product catalog and let the system handle ad creation at scale.
How ChatGPT Ads Manager Product Feeds Work
The new ChatGPT Ads Manager tool accepts product feeds from retailers and creates individual ads for each uploaded item. The process pulls product names, images, and attributes directly from your feed data.
OpenAI reports that one global direct-to-consumer brand doubled their click-through rate and cut their cost-per-click by 50% after switching from standard ChatGPT ads to feed-based ads. These performance improvements suggest the feed format aligns better with how users interact with ChatGPT during product research.
The ads still appear in the same sponsored placement below ChatGPT responses. The key difference lies in the setup process and how the system matches products to user conversations.
Scale Capabilities for Large Retailers
The platform can handle significant catalog volumes. OpenAI asks some new e-commerce partners to start with 100 product samples for testing. One advertising executive briefed on the update confirmed the system can process up to one million SKUs per advertiser.
This capacity puts ChatGPT Ads Manager in direct competition with Google Shopping and Facebook catalog advertising. The scale allows major retailers to bring their full product range into ChatGPT without manual campaign building.
Product feeds make it easier to create campaigns at scale and connect relevant products with users during high-intent conversations. When someone asks ChatGPT about specific product categories, the system can surface ads that match their immediate research needs.
Preparing Quality Product Feed Content
Success with ChatGPT feed ads depends heavily on the quality of your product descriptions and catalog content. Your feed needs compelling copy that works in a conversational context rather than traditional search results.
Nichesss helps retailers generate the product descriptions, ad copy, and catalog content needed to populate ChatGPT product feeds effectively. The platform’s 150+ AI templates can rapidly create product descriptions, titles, and ad copy variations for entire catalogs before uploading to the ChatGPT Ads Manager.
Since feed ads show superior performance metrics, having multiple ad copy variations becomes crucial. Nichesss enables A/B testing of different copy approaches, allowing retailers to optimize for the high-intent conversational context where ChatGPT users discover products.
What This Means for Retail Advertising
ChatGPT’s move toward catalog-driven advertising puts it closer to established platforms like Google Shopping. The key difference lies in the conversational context where these ads appear.
Users often ask ChatGPT detailed product research questions. They want specific recommendations, comparisons, and advice. Feed ads let retailers surface their products precisely when users express clear buying intent through their questions.
The reported performance improvements suggest this conversational advertising context drives higher engagement than traditional search ads. Users who ask ChatGPT for product advice are already deep in their research process.
Getting Started with ChatGPT Product Feeds
The feature remains in beta testing. OpenAI continues expanding access to retail advertisers who meet their requirements. Early results indicate strong performance for brands that optimize their feed content properly.
Your product feed content determines success in this new advertising format. Generic product descriptions that work for search engines may not perform well in ChatGPT’s conversational environment. Nichesss provides the AI-powered content creation tools needed to optimize your product catalog for conversational discovery, ensuring your feed performs when ChatGPT users ask about products in your category.
