Re: [w3c/payment-handler] "Middleman Id/Commission %/Payeeer" provision (#335)

@richardPAG,

I don't mean to express reticence. I'm still working on my understanding of the use case and role of a standard. Please bear with me.

My assumption is that for any of the payment methods you named (paypal, square, stripe), each one would have its own internal approach to managing disbursements. Thus, the request data would be specific to each one of those. I have not approached any of those companies to ask whether they would be interested in standardizing the request payload or identity system (for identifying beneficiaries).  Is the role you imagine for the standard to create a common request payload across those payment methods that support disbursement? 

Another way of putting the question is: if square and stripe and paypal can (already?) do disbursements with their own payment method specific data models, what additional capability is needed in payment request API?

Ian
