Adds support for <link rel="payment" href="..."> as a hint that the browser should notify registered payment clients about a pending push payment. When Blink encounters this HTML element, then it will send a message to the browser to display the user's interface to ask the user if they would like to invoke Google Pay to assist payments on this page.

Blink>PaymentsMotivation
This feature lets the browser assist users in push-based payment flows by facilitating the transfer of payment information between the payment provider (on the payee side) and the payment client (on the payer side). The feature lays the foundation for payment integrators in streamlining push-based payment flows, towards a consistent and low-friction user experience.

WebKit: No signal
Web developers: No signals
WebView application risks
Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
None
