This document was published by the Web Payments Working Group as a Candidate Recommendation. This document is intended to become a W3C Recommendation. W3C publishes a Candidate Recommendation to indicate that the document is believed to be stable and to encourage implementation by the developer community. This Candidate Recommendation is expected to advance to Proposed Recommendation no earlier than 31 October 2017.

Please see the Working Group's implementation report.

Publication as a Candidate Recommendation does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.

This document was produced by a group operating under the 5 February 2004 W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.

This document is governed by the 1 March 2017 W3C Process Document. Features at risk As this specification enters the Candidate Recommendation phase of the W3C standardization process, the working group has identified the following feature(s) as being "at risk" of being removed from the specification. The working group seeks input from implementers, developers, and the general public on whether these features should remain in the specification. If no compelling use cases are received, or if there is limited interest from implementers, these features will be removed from the specification before proceeding along the W3C Recommendation track. currencySystem (see issue 617).
