I noticed this NYT article that couched the Payment WG's spec as being about "one click" : http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/26/business/dealbook/what-if-one-click-buying-were-internetwide.html?_r=0 It's not actually possible to do one click shopping on a merchant's site securely. You need interactions with the payment mediator and payment app. Interestingly, there is actually a way to do one click shopping though if you move the buy button off the merchant's site entirely and into the browser itself. If a merchant sends a contract, then you display the payment mediator, shipping address information, and payment app in an overlay window separate from the merchant controlled window. This contains a buy button, so the user can verify information like shipping visually, and push buy without necessarily changing anything. Just though that was funny, Jeff
