Dear list, I have a few questions regarding the topic above. http://www.w3.org/2015/06/payments-wg-charter.html Card Payments Recommendation A very large proportion of payments on the Web are conducted using payment cards from one of the global card schemes. The group should attempt to define a standardized specialization of the payment flow specifically for payment cards. [AR] Great! Are there any known people working on this right now? - Demonstrate how a debit-pull digital payment scheme should be implemented using Web Payments APIs. [AR] Why bother with pull? Pull is (using current card technology) entirely dependent on centralized payment processors and tokenization providers which IMHO is the "old" way of doing things. I have just finished a prototype of a push-based Web Payment system which will published in September for general evaluation. It supports several cool things (which current card-based schemes do not) that become close to trivial when you have a digital wallet. - Standardize a common approach for payment card schemes globally to kick-start adoption of Web Payments APIs. [AR] If you rather settle for push you could target a much wider range of Web Payments including popular schemes like the Dutch IDEAL.
