First Public Working Draft: Payment Request API 1.1

Payment Request API 1.1

https://www.w3.org/TR/2022/WD-payment-request-1.1-20220726/

Published by
 Web Payments Working Group

Abstract

This specification standardizes an API to allow merchants (i.e. web sites selling physical or digital goods) to utilize one or more payment methods with minimal integration. User agents (e.g., browsers) facilitate the payment flow between merchant and user.

Status of the Document

This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at https://www.w3.org/TR/. 

The W3C published Payment Request API 1.0 as a Proposed Recommendation in September 2021. Since then, W3C has been working to resolve two Formal Objections from W3C Members; see the Team Report for details. At this time, a Council is evaluating the Formal Objections to determine whether Payment Request API 1.0 should advance to Recommendation or be returned to the Working Group for changes. 

In the meantime, the Editors have continued to update this specification with new features (see change log below). To provide devellopers and implementers with more confidence about these features, the working group has decided to formally publish the a new W3C Working Draft. This will also provide the group with a foundation for potential discussion at TPAC about the future of Payment Request. 

It is not uncommon for a Working Group to work on different revisions of a specification simultaneously (e.g., see the CSS WG). With that in mind, and because our current charter anticipates enhancements to Payment Request 1.0, we've publish this 1.1 draft. 

 Note

If Payment Request API 1.0 advances to Recommendation, the Editors will determine whether it would be preferable to fold these changes into an evolving 1.0 Recommendation, or to continue to nurture a 1.1 branch. At the current time, we do not need to make that decision. 

The working group maintains a list of all bug reports that the group has not yet addressed. Pull requests with proposed specification text for outstanding issues are strongly encouraged. 

The working group will demonstrate implementation experience by producing an implementation report. The report will show two or more independent implementations passing each mandatory test in the test suite (i.e., each test corresponds to a MUST requirement of the specification). 

There has been no change in dependencies on other workings groups during the development of this specification. 

This document was published by the Web Payments Working Group as a First Public Working Draft using the Recommendation track.

Publication as a First Public Working Draft does not imply endorsement by W3C and its Members.

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. Future updates to this specification may incorporate new features.

This document was produced by a group operating under the 1 August 2017 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 2 November 2021 W3C Process Document.



Changes since last publication  

This version of the specification removes data features from the API, essentially pushing data details to payment method descriptions. The complete list of changes, including all editorial changes, is viewable in the commit history. Key set of changes are viewable in the Changelog.
