Re: [w3c/browser-payment-api] Any plan to allow this API to be called by non-merchants? (#35)

The use case should be supported by it, yes. We intend to be clear in how it's supported as that spec evolves.

Unfortunately, we already had a concrete proposal (with the WPCG API) that was rejected. However, I am hopefully that support for this case will actually fall out from the debates we've been having regarding passing a payment request message as separate data to the `PaymentRequest` constructor. It may turn out that ensuring we separate concerns there, that we'll once again be able to support this use case as a natural consequence.
