IJ: We plan to do outreach to merchants and PSPs with question about "top 5 pain points for SMEs in EU and US"
Lawrence: We will start with that focus but would love to hear from larger merchants, other regions as well
Laura: There are also regional
variations
... we can respond from large merchant POV as well
Lawrence: Thanks in advance to everyone who can pitch in; will be valuable info for the group
17 Sep -> 14:00-14:30: Web Authentication 2 and payments use cases
AdrianHB: Also a heads-up...Coil has started to socialize a proposal re: Web Monetization within the Web Incubator Community Group
Proposal about Web Monetization
AdrianHB: the proposal could (and
probably should) involve a payment method / payment
handler
... we may need to update those specs to support the web
monetization model
AdrianHB: both are subject to
change based on community discussion
... as a reminder, Web Monetization is a proposal for streaming
micropayments
... users sign up for services that make payments to endpoints
that are advertised in Web pages
... in terms of PR API and PH API, one can imagine a flow where
the web site declares support for web monetization payment
method
... the browser could not show the sheet but still look for
payment handlers
... and the payment handler could start making payments
... furthermore, there's not a single response back from the
payment handler; the handler triggers multiple events to
indicate payments have been sent (for validation by the
merchant)
... merchants might choose to show ads if the payments stop
flowing
... another use case is that video displays as long as payments
are being received
... so the two changes would be to invoke PR API in a
non-interactive fashion, and that the payment handler needs to
be able to make continuous notifications
IJ: What will we see more of at the FTF meeting?
AdrianHB: Stefan will do a lunch
talk on Tuesday, there will be a breakout on Weds (focus there
is finding interested members)
... our expectation is that a lot of interest in this will come
from media/publishers
... that is: recipients of the payments
... during the WPWG session we will do demos and look at what
we would need to do to APIs to address these use cases.
IJ: Also - session on payment handlers
No call on 22 August
Next meeting: 5 September
IJ: Registration rate for TPAC goes up on 31 August
Lawrence: One other note - I am
collecting consumer pain points for discussion at TPAC
... if anyone would like to contribute to that let me or Ian
know
Rouslan: We will think about it
