:smile: I seem to have misread you.

Yeah, this would probably work even without any further changes. One approach that might be sufficient, at least for version 1 of the specification, could be to figure out the best way for a merchant to use the existing behavior of the payment request api to implement recommendations on his web page, and then produce some really good examples that shows the best practices.

I don't think there's a fingerprinting issue with the `show` method, since it potentially shows UI. I'd imagine one would prefer fingerprinting methods that weren't visible to the user. The `canMakePayment` method is a better candidate for fingerprinting.
