Summary

This is a refresh of the browser UI associated with the Payment Handler API. Although there are no changes to the API surface with this feature, we'd like to run an origin trial starting in M112 to give payment handler providers a chance to experiment with the new UI ahead of the launch.

Goals for experimentation

Allow developers using web-based payment handlers a chance to trial the new UI with their payment handler. We have a partner using payment handlers that has expressed desire to test this feature via an origin trial.

Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?

No, Desktop platforms where Payment Request is implemented (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS).

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests?

Not applicable.

That's an interesting application of an OT - basically you want to allow partner origins to experiment with the new UI in order to inform it? 

How many milestones do you want to run the trial on?

Yes, an origin trial was specifically requested so they can get some real data using the new UI, and then iterate if necessary.

I think the default (6 milestones these days?) should be sufficient to give time for developers to run experiments and iterate.
