Summary
The API helps to develop new payment apps in *web standard* ways (e.g. service worker).
If using them, payment app providers can provide simplified payment methods and user experiences.
Motivation
We introduced a web standard API called PaymentRequest to initiate payment requests from Web
pages and applications. But when someone want to develop a new payment app in standard way,
there is no way currently and they have to use platform specific ways.
In the user agent perspective, to manage payment apps, user agents need package manager and
secure communication ways. Fortunately, there is already service worker technology. So, we can use
them to connect user agents with web-based payment apps.
Interoperability and Compatibility Risk
Low; New API that does not break old features.
Also, this features will be behind runtime flag for now.
Ongoing technical constraints
None
Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?
Yes, but we will support Android platform only for now because current PaymentRequest API is
supported on Android only.
