How does the user can choose between payment solutions?   This is why it 
may be better for the same interface to bind to the user's choice of 
wallet (there could be more than one), and leave it to the wallet to 
provide the UX for for the user to pick her preferred payment solution 
for the current transaction. This means we also need to discuss how to 
allow the user to register and unregister wallets and payment solutions, 
and to allow for both locally installed and remotely hosted implementations.
