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

Thanks for the reply @ianbjacobs 

> It is not yet clear to me that Payment Request API plays any special role here,

The extremely important role it plays is to standardize the relationship between the *four* parties that will become more and more the norm with e-commerce transactions. 

1) The User/Payer
2) The Agent/Middleman/Franchiser 
3) The Payment Method Owner
4) The Merchant/Vendor

If it has to be your original and additional idea of "Do you agree to pay $1" then fine. But we cant'l have Mom & Pop Super-Mini-Cabs asking Ernst&Young to strike the same relationship/rates with PayPal, AliPay, etc

Thanks to you people. soon the browser will contain almost all the infrastructure needed for friction-less eCommerce but you are explicitly excluding small players or startups in the PWA field from gaining critical mass without going IPO :-(

The PWA vendor does not want to have to chase the merchant for money. The merchant does not want to chase the PWA vendor/franchiser for money. And we all want to be able to chop and change PMO when ever we like and can do so because W3C have made it easy and standard.
