In a push-based payment, you click a button and the payment is made. In a pull-based payment, you reach for your wallet, pull out a card, and hand over a secret. The customer is going to know one method from the other unless we create something to auto-fill the latter case (which I'd argue as a very bad idea). -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: The Marathonic Dawn of Web Payments http://manu.sporny.org/2014/dawn-of-web-payments/
