Re: [w3c/webpayments] Just a question, curious (#249)

Hi @jehan96,

Payment Request API currently only addresses data gathering. How the merchant and customer interact for other parts of the transaction (such as confirmation and receipt) are not covered by the API and would presumably be addressed as they already happen today. 

For example, the merchant can share status information in a variety of ways:

 * Via a Web page in response to the PR API complete().
 * By using an email access collected via PR API.
 * Via the transaction history in the user's account with the merchant.

>From time to time we do discuss extensions to the API, or other APIs that might address the other phases of a transaction. But at this time we are not actively working on them.

I hope that helps,

Ian
