Does OpenAI allow builders to monetise their GPTs?
Yes! We have confirmed directly with OpenAI on multiple occasions. If any issues arise, we will contact OpenAI on your
behalf.
How is this different from revenue share offered by OpenAI?
Currently, OpenAI offers a usage-based revenue share scheme on an invite-only basis to some US-based builders.
In comparison, GPT Builder Tool offers different monetisation models: donation, monthly subscription and affiliate links. It can
be used by any builder who has a PayPal account, regardless of your location.
We designed GPT Builder Tools to complement OpenAI’s revenue share model (similar to how YouTube content creators
get ad revenue share, but can also monetise through affiliate links, paid content etc) and are hopeful that OpenAI will expand
their revenue share program to more builders. So any revenue you collect using GPT Builder Tools would in addition to any
usage-based revenue share paid by OpenAI now or in the future.
How secure is it to use GPT Builder Tools for monetisation?
Once installed, GPT Builder Tools generates secure payment links within the chat that is specific to the GPT, session and
user requesting it. The payment amount is stored in our database so it is immune to prompt hacking. We use Stripe for
processing payments which has enterprise-level security.

Can I allow the user to try before they have to subscribe to my GPT?
Yes, you can offer free trials (this is a feature on our business plan).
How does a subscription paywall work?
GPT Builder Tools gives your custom GPT the capability to ability to authenticate users through email verification, generate
payment links, check if payment has been successful, and send the user an email receipt.
By enabling a subscription paywall, the user pays a recurring monthly subscription, and can use the GPT as much as they
want. Users may cancel their subscription at any time.
Why isn’t my GPT calling the action?
OpenAI recently made some which has made it harder for GPTs to know when to use actions. We recommend you update
your GPTs with a) more specific custom instructions in the instructions box and b) adding instructions into your knowledge
base documents. Click here for more detail.
What is GPT Wallets?
We originally launched an in-chat payments tools called GPT Wallets. We have since expanded into other tools including
analytics and user authentication, so rebranded to GPT Builder Tools in July 2024 to reflect this broader scope!
