RE: Detecting if payment app is available

Thanks Adrian, I agree that group needs to review this concern before we go CR.
Just a quick reminder for the group to review the proposal, https://github.com/maheshkk/webpayments/wiki/Detecting-if-payment-app-is-available

Discussion on this topic is in the agenda for tomorrow’s WG call and I hope we can spend few mins discussing on this more tomorrow.

Thanks
Mahesh

Hey Mahesh,
Thanks for putting this together. As you say, this is already possible today through long-lived cookies, iframes as long as the app consents to give the info to the merchant.
I think we should definitely explore this and discuss with some urgency if it's something we think is required before we go to CR.

Hello WPWG members,

Following up on our discussion about this topic from f2f meeting.

I have prepared a problem statement and very early draft of proposals I had in mind on how merchants can securely check if a certain payment app is available.

You can find the document here,
https://github.com/maheshkk/webpayments/wiki/Detecting-if-payment-app-is-available


Please share if you have any questions or feedback! Also let me know if it is easier to discuss this by creating an issue in github and moving the content from wiki to this issue.

Thanks
Mahesh
