The Payment Request API provides a standard way to initiate payment requests from Web pages and applications. User agents implementing that API prompt the user to select a way to handle the payment request, after which the user agent returns a payment response to the originating site. This specification defines capabilities that enable Web applications to handle payment requests.

The Web Payments Working Group seeks to streamline payments on the Web to help reduce "shopping cart abandonment" and make it easier to deploy new payment methods on the Web. It has published the Payment Request API [payment-request] as a standard way to initiate payment requests from E-Commerce Web sites and applications.
A payment app is a Web application that can handle payment requests on behalf of the user. This specification defines a number of new Web platform features to handle payment requests:
PaymentRequestEvent). A 
          payment handler is an event handler for the
                PaymentRequestEvent.
            PaymentInstruments.
            This specification does not address how software built with operating-system specific mechanisms (e.g., "native mobile apps") handle payment requests.
The term "payment app" may be useful as a shorthand for "Web app that can handle payments with Payment Request API."
As well as sections marked as non-normative, all authoring guidelines, diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative. Everything else in this specification is normative.
The key words MAY, MUST, NOT REQUIRED, SHOULD, and SHOULD NOT are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
This specification defines one class of products:
A user agent MUST behave as described in this specification to be considered conformant. In this specification, user agent means a Web browser or other interactive user agent as defined in [HTML5].
User agents MAY implement algorithms given in this specification in any way desired, so long as the end result is indistinguishable from the result that would be obtained by the specification's algorithms.
A conforming Payment Handler API user agent MUST also be a conforming implementation of the IDL fragments of this specification, as described in the “Web IDL” specification. [ WEBIDL-LS]
In this document we envision the following flow:
capabilities                        play a role in matching computations.
                    instruments supported by the payment handler.
                    instruments of the candidate payment
                handlers. The user agent displays these choices using information (labels and icons) provided at registration or otherwise available from the Web app.
            PaymentRequestEvent (cf. the user interaction
        task source) in the service worker whose PaymentManager the instrument was registered with. The PaymentRequestEvent includes some information from the PaymentRequest (defined in [
                payment-request]) as well as additional information (e.g., origin and selected instrument).
            An origin may implement a payment app with more than one service worker and therefore multiple payment handlers may be registered per origin. The handler that is invoked is determined by the selection made by the user of a payment instrument. The service worker which stored the payment instrument with its PaymentManager is the one that will be invoked.
This section is non-normative.
The logic of a payment handler is driven by the payment methods that it supports. Some payment methods, such as basic-card expect little to no processing by the payment handler which simply returns payment card details in the response. It is then the job of the payee website to process the payment using the returned data as input.
In contrast, some payment methods, such as a crypto-currency payments or bank originated credit transfers, require that the payment handler initiate processing of the payment. In such cases the payment handler will return a payment reference, endpoint URL or some other data that the payee website can use to determine the outcome of the payment (as opposed to processing the payment itself).
Handling a payment request may include numerous interactions: with the user through a new window or other APIs (such as [ WebCryptoAPI]) or with other services and origins through web requests or other means.
                This specification does not address these activities that occur between the payment handler accepting the PaymentRequestEvent and the payment
                handler returning a response. All of these activities which may be required to configure the payment handler and handle the payment request, are left to the implementation of the payment handler, including:
            
Thus, an origin will rely on many other Web technologies defined elsewhere for lifecycle management, security, user authentication, user interaction, and so on.
This section is non-normative.
 
                PaymentRequestEvents. PaymentManagers
            manage the definition, display, and user selection of
            PaymentInstruments. A PaymentInstrument supports one
            or more payment methods.
          This section is non-normative.
This specification does not address how third-party mobile payment apps interact (through proprietary mechanisms) with user agents, or how user agents themselves provide simple payment app functionality.
 
                ServiceWorkerRegistration interface
            
                This specification extends the ServiceWorkerRegistration interface with the addition of a paymentManager attribute.
            
partial interface ServiceWorkerRegistration {
    readonly attribute PaymentManager paymentManager;
};
            [SecureContext,
 Exposed=(Window,Worker)]
interface PaymentManager {
    [SameObject]
    readonly attribute PaymentInstruments instruments;
    [Exposed=Window] static Promise<PermissionState> requestPermission();
             attribute DOMString          userHint;
};
            The PaymentManager is used by payment apps to manage their associated instruments and supported payment methods.
instruments attribute
                This attribute allows manipulation of payment instruments associated with a service worker (and therefore its payment handler). To be a candidate payment handler, a handler must have at least one registered payment instrument to present to the user. That instrument needs to match the payment methods and required capabilities specified by the payment request.
requestPermission()                    method
                The user agent is NOT REQUIRED to prompt the user to grant permission to the origin for each new supported payment method or new payment instrument.
When called, this method executes the following steps:
userHint attribute
                When displaying payment handler name and icon, the user agent may use this string to improve the user experience. For example, a user hint of "**** 1234" can remind the user that a particular card is available through this payment handler. When a agent displays all payment instruments available through a payment handler, it may cause confusion to display the additional hint.
PaymentInstruments interface
            [SecureContext,
 Exposed=(Window,Worker)]
interface PaymentInstruments {
    Promise<boolean>             delete(DOMString instrumentKey);
    Promise<PaymentInstrument>   get(DOMString instrumentKey);
    Promise<sequence<DOMString>> keys();
    Promise<boolean>             has(DOMString instrumentKey);
    Promise<void>                set(DOMString instrumentKey,
                                     PaymentInstrument details);
    Promise<void>                clear();
};
            
                The PaymentInstruments interface represents a collection of payment instruments, each uniquely identified by an
                instrumentKey. The instrumentKey identifier will be passed to the payment handler to indicate the
                PaymentInstrument selected by the user, if any.
            
delete() method
                When called, this method executes the following steps:
PaymentInstrument with a matching instrumentKey, remove it from the collection and resolve p                        with true.
                    get() method
                When called, this method executes the following steps:
PaymentInstrument with a matching instrumentKey, resolve p with that
                        PaymentInstrument.
                    NotFoundError".
                    keys() method
                When called, this method executes the following steps:
PaymentInstruments
                        contained in the collection, in original insertion order.
                    has() method
                When called, this method executes the following steps:
PaymentInstrument with a matching instrumentKey, resolve p with
                        true.
                    set() method
                When called, this method executes the following steps:
NotAllowedError.
                    icons member of
                        details is present, then:
                        
                    icons member of
                        details is present, then for each icon in
                        details.icons:
                        PaymentInstrument with a matching instrumentKey, replace it with the
                        PaymentInstrument in details.
                    PaymentInstrument in
                        details as a new member of the collection and associate it with the key instrumentKey.
                    clear() method
                When called, this method executes the following steps:
PaymentInstruments from the collection and resolve p.
                    PaymentInstrument dictionary
                dictionary PaymentInstrument {
    required DOMString             name;
             sequence<ImageObject> icons;
             sequence<DOMString>   enabledMethods;
             object                capabilities;
};
                name member
            name member is a string that represents the label for this PaymentInstrument                        as it is usually displayed to the user.
                    icons member
            icons member is an array of image objects that can serve as iconic representations of the payment instrument when presented to
                        the user for selection.
                    enabledMethods member
            enabledMethods member is a list of one or more
                        payment method identifiers of the payment methods                        supported by this instrument.
                    capabilities member
            capabilities member is a list of payment-method-specific capabilities that this payment handler is capable of supporting
                        for this instrument. For example, for the
                        basic-card payment method, this object will consist of an object with two fields: one for supportedNetworks,
                        and another for supportedTypes.
                    ImageObject dictionary
                src member
            src member is used to specify the ImageObject's source.
                        It is a URL from which the user agent can fetch the image’s data.
                    sizes member
            sizes member is used to specify the
                        ImageObject's sizes. It follows the spec of sizes member in HTML link element,
                        which is a string consisting of an unordered
              set of unique space-separated tokens which are ASCII case-insensitive that represents the dimensions of an image. Each keyword is either an
                        ASCII
              case-insensitive match for the string "any", or a value that consists of two valid non-negative integers that do not have a leading U+0030 DIGIT ZERO (0) character and that are separated by a single U+0078 LATIN
                        SMALL LETTER X or U+0058 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER X character. The keywords represent icon sizes in raw pixels (as opposed to CSS pixels). When multiple image objects are available, a user agent MAY                        use the value to decide which icon is most suitable for a display context (and ignore any that are inappropriate). The parsing steps for the sizes                        member
                        MUST follow the parsing
              steps for HTML link element sizes attribute.
                    type member
            type member is used to specify the
                        ImageObject's MIME type. It is a hint as to the media type of the image. The purpose of this member is to allow a user agent to ignore images
                        of media types it does not support.
                    When this algorithm with inputImages parameter is invoked, the user agent must run the following steps:
              ImageObject.
                    type is not a valid MIME type                                or the value of type is not a supported media format, then return an empty Sequence of ImageObject.
                            sizes is not a valid value, then return an empty
                                Sequence of ImageObject.
                            src with the
                                context object's
                                relevant settings
                object's API base
                URL.
                            ImageObject.
                            ImageObject.
                            src to url.
                            
                    According to the step 2.3, it is also possible to use the relative url for image.src. The following examples
                    illustrate how relative URL resolution works in different execution contexts.
                
<-- In this example, code is located in https://www.example.com/bobpay/index.html -->
<script>
const instrumentKey = "c8126178-3bba-4d09-8f00-0771bcfd3b11";

// storedInstrument.icons[0].src == "https://www.example.com/bobpay/icon/lowres.webp";
                This section is non-normative.
The following example shows how to register a payment handler:
button.addEventListener("click", async() => {
  if (!window.PaymentManager) {
    return; // not supported, so bail out.
  }
  const result = await PaymentManager.requestPermission();
  if (result !== "granted") {
    return;
  }
  const { registration } =
    await navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js');
  // Excellent, we got it! Let's now set up the user's cards.
  await addInstruments(registration);
}, { once: true });
function addInstruments(registration) {
  return Promise.all([
    registration.paymentManager.instruments.set(
      "dc2de27a-ca5e-4fbd-883e-b6ded6c69d4f",
      {
        name: "Visa ending ****4756",
        enabledMethods: ["basic-card"],
        capabilities: {
          supportedNetworks: ['visa'],
          supportedTypes: ['credit']
        }
      }),
    registration.paymentManager.instruments.set(
      "c8126178-3bba-4d09-8f00-0771bcfd3b11",
      {
        name: "My Bob Pay Account: john@example.com",
        enabledMethods: ["https://bobpay.com/"]
      }),
    registration.paymentManager.instruments.set(
      "new-card",
      {
        name: "Add new credit/debit card to ExampleApp",
        enabledMethods: ["basic-card"],
        capabilities: {
          supportedNetworks:
            ['visa','mastercard','amex','discover'],
          supportedTypes: ['credit','debit','prepaid']
        }
      }),
    ]);
  };
                After applying the matching algorithm defined in Payment Request API, the user agent displays a list of instruments from matching payment apps for the user to make a selection. This specification includes a limited number of display requirements; most user experience details are left to implementers.
The second bullet above may be amended to remove explicit mention of ordering defined by the payee.
The following are examples of payment handler ordering:
The Working Group has discussed two types of merchant preferences related to payment apps: (1) highlighting merchant-preferred payment apps already registered by the user and (2) recommending payment apps not yet registered by the user. The current draft of the specification does not address either point, and the Working Group is seeking feedback on the importance of these use cases. Note that for the second capability, merchants can recommend payment apps through other mechanisms such as links from their web sites.
The user agent MUST enable the user to select any displayed instrument.
The Working Group is discussing how default payment instrument display could further streamline the user experience.
Users agents may wish to enable the user to select individual displayed Instruments. The payment handler would receive information about the selected Instrument and could take action, potentially eliminating an extra click (first open the payment app then select the Instrument).
            Once the user has selected an Instrument, the user agent fires a
            PaymentRequestEvent and uses the subsequent
            PaymentHandlerResponse to create a PaymentReponse for [
            payment-request].
        
Payment Request API supports delegation of responsibility to manage an abort to a payment app. There is a proposal to add a paymentRequestAborted event to the Payment Handler interface. The event will have a respondWith method that takes a boolean parameter indicating if the paymentRequest has been successfully aborted.
ServiceWorkerGlobalScope
            
                This specification extends the ServiceWorkerGlobalScope interface.
            
partial interface ServiceWorkerGlobalScope {
    attribute EventHandler onpaymentrequest;
};
            onpaymentrequest attribute
                
                    The onpaymentrequest attribute is an event handler                    whose corresponding event handler event type is
                    paymentrequest.
                
PaymentRequestEvent
            
                The PaymentRequestEvent represents a received
                PaymentRequest.
            
[Constructor(DOMString type, PaymentRequestEventInit eventInitDict),
 Exposed=ServiceWorker]
interface PaymentRequestEvent : ExtendableEvent {
    readonly attribute USVString                           topLevelOrigin;
    readonly attribute USVString                           paymentRequestOrigin;
    readonly attribute DOMString                           paymentRequestId;
    readonly attribute FrozenArray<PaymentMethodData>      methodData;
    readonly attribute object                              total;
    readonly attribute FrozenArray<PaymentDetailsModifier> modifiers;
    readonly attribute DOMString                           instrumentKey;
    Promise<WindowClient?> openWindow(USVString url);
    void                   respondWith(Promise<PaymentHandlerResponse> handlerResponsePromise);
};
            topLevelOrigin attribute
                This attribute is a string that indicates the origin of the top level payee web page. The string MUST be formatted according to the "Unicode Serialization of an Origin" algorithm defined in section 6.1 of [RFC6454].
paymentRequestOrigin attribute
                
                    This attribute is a string that indicates the origin where a PaymentRequest was initialized.
                    When a PaymentRequest is initialized in the
                    topLevelOrigin, the attributes have the same value, otherwise the attributes have different values. For example, when a
                    PaymentRequest is initialized within an iframe from an origin other than topLevelOrigin, the value of this attribute is the origin of the iframe. The string MUST be formatted according to the "Unicode
            Serialization of an Origin" algorithm defined in section 6.1 of [
                    RFC6454].
                
paymentRequestId attribute
                
                    When getting, the paymentRequestId attribute returns the [[details]].
                    id from the PaymentRequest that corresponds to this
                    PaymentRequestEvent.
                
methodData attribute
                This attribute contains PaymentMethodData dictionaries containing the payment method identifiers for the payment methods that the web site accepts and any associated payment method specific data. It is populated from the PaymentRequest using the MethodData Population Algorithm defined below.
total attribute
                
                    This attribute indicates the total amount being requested for payment. It is of type PaymentCurrencyAmount dictionary as defined
                    in [payment-request], and initialized with a
                    structured clone of the total field of the
                    PaymentDetailsInit provided when the corresponding
                    PaymentRequest object was instantiated.
                
modifiers attribute
                This sequence of PaymentDetailsModifier dictionaries contains modifiers for particular payment method identifiers (e.g., if the payment amount or currency type varies based on a per-payment-method basis). It is populated from the PaymentRequest using the Modifiers Population Algorithm defined below.
instrumentKey attribute
                
                    This attribute indicates the PaymentInstrument selected by the user. It corresponds to the instrumentKey provided to the
                    PaymentManager.instruments interface during registration. An empty string means that the user did not choose a specific
                    PaymentInstrument.
                
openWindow() method
                This method is used by the payment handler to show a window to the user. When called, it runs the open window algorithm.
respondWith() method
                
                    This method is used by the payment handler to provide a
                    PaymentHandlerResponse when the payment successfully completes. When called, it runs the Respond to PaymentRequest
            Algorithm with event and
                    handlerResponsePromise as arguments.
                
Should payment apps receive user data stored in the user agent upon explicit consent from the user? The payment app could request permission either at installation or when the payment app is first invoked.
PaymentRequestEventInit dictionary
                dictionary PaymentRequestEventInit : ExtendableEventInit {
    USVString                        topLevelOrigin;
    USVString                        paymentRequestOrigin;
    DOMString                        paymentRequestId;
    sequence<PaymentMethodData>      methodData;
    PaymentCurrencyAmount            total;
    sequence<PaymentDetailsModifier> modifiers;
    DOMString                        instrumentKey;
};
                
                    The topLevelOrigin, paymentRequestOrigin,
                    paymentRequestId, methodData,
                    total, modifiers, and
                    instrumentKey members share their definitions with those defined
                    for PaymentRequestEvent
                
                    To initialize the value of the methodData, the user agent
                    MUST perform the following steps or their equivalent:
                
PaymentInstrument instrument in the
                        payment handler's PaymentManager.
                        instruments, add all entries in instrument.enabledMethods                            to
                            registeredMethods.
                    methodData to dataList.
                    
                    To initialize the value of the modifiers, the user agent
                    MUST perform the following steps or their equivalent:
                
PaymentInstrument instrument in the
                        payment handler's PaymentManager.
                        instruments, add all entries in instrument.enabledMethods                            to
                            registeredMethods.
                    modifiers                        in the corresponding payment request, perform the following steps:
                        total to a structured
                clone of inModifier.total.
                            modifiers to modifierList.
                    
                Instances of PaymentRequestEvent are created with the internal slots in the following table:
            
| Internal Slot | Default Value | Description (non-normative) | 
|---|---|---|
| [[windowClient]] | null | The currently active WindowClient. This is set if a payment handler is currently showing a window to the user. Otherwise, it is null. | 
| [[fetchedImage]] | undefined | This value is a result of fetching image object or a fallback image provided by the user agent. | 
| [[respondWithCalled]] | false | YAHO | 
Upon receiving a PaymentRequest by way of PaymentRequest.show() and subsequent user selection of a payment instrument, the user agent MUST run the following steps:
ServiceWorkerRegistration corresponding to the
                    PaymentInstrument selected by the user.
                InvalidStateError"
                    and terminate these steps.
                ServiceWorkerRegistration of registration and 
            callbackSteps set to the following steps:
                    PaymentRequestEvent interface, with the event type
                            paymentrequest, which does not bubble, cannot be canceled, and has no default action.
                        topLevelOrigin attribute of e to the origin of the top
                            level payee web page.
                        paymentRequestOrigin attribute of e to the
                            origin of the context where PaymentRequest was initialized.
                        paymentRequestId attribute of e to the [[details]].
                            id from the
                                PaymentRequest.
                        methodData and modifiers attributes of 
                e by executing the MethodData Population Algorithm and Modifiers Population Algorithm                            respectively.
                        total attribute of e to a structured clone                            of the total field on the PaymentDetailsInit from the corresponding PaymentRequest.
                        PaymentInstrument, or the empty string if none was selected.
                        PaymentHandlerResponse, reject the Promise                            that was created by PaymentRequest.show() with a
                            DOMException whose value "OperationError".
                        An invoked payment handler may or may not need to display information about itself or request user input. Some examples of potential payment handler displays include:
A payment handler that requires visual display and user interaction, may call openWindow() to display a page to the user.
                Since user agents know that this method is connected to the
                PaymentRequestEvent, they SHOULD render the window in a way that is consistent with the flow and not confusing
                to the user. The resulting window client is bound to the tab/window that initiated the
                PaymentRequest. A single payment handler SHOULD NOT                be allowed to open more than one client window using this method.
            
This algorithm resembles the Open Window Algorithm in the Service Workers specification.
Should we refer to the Service Workers specification instead of copying their steps?
PaymentRequestEvent.
                PaymentRequestEvent.
                about:blank, return a
                    Promise rejected with a TypeError.
                InvalidAccessError.
                InvalidStateError"
                            and abort these steps.
                        PaymentRequestEvent
            This section is non-normative.
                This example shows how to write a service worker that listens to the
                PaymentRequestEvent. When a PaymentRequestEvent is
                received, the service worker opens a window to interact with the user.
            
self.addEventListener('paymentrequest', function(e) {
  e.respondWith(new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
    self.addEventListener('message', listener = function(e) {
      self.removeEventListener('message', listener);
      if (e.data.hasOwnProperty('name')) {
        reject(e.data);
      } else {
        resolve(e.data);
      }
    });
    e.openWindow("https://www.example.com/bobpay/pay")
    .then(function(windowClient) {
      windowClient.postMessage(e.data);
    })
    .catch(function(err) {
      reject(err);
    });
  }));
});
            The Web Payments Working Group plans to revisit these two examples.
Using the simple scheme described above, a trivial HTML page that is loaded into the payment handler window to implement the basic card scheme might look like the following:
<form id="form">
<table>
  <tr><th>Cardholder Name:</th><td><input name="cardholderName"></td></tr>
  <tr><th>Card Number:</th><td><input name="cardNumber"></td></tr>
  <tr><th>Expiration Month:</th><td><input name="expiryMonth"></td></tr>
  <tr><th>Expiration Year:</th><td><input name="expiryYear"></td></tr>
  <tr><th>Security Code:</th><td><input name="cardSecurityCode"></td></tr>
  <tr><th></th><td><input type="submit" value="Pay"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
<script>
window.addEventListener("message", function(e) {
  var form = document.getElementById("form");
  /* Note: message sent from payment app is available in e.data */
  form.onsubmit = function() {
    /* See https://w3c.github.io/webpayments-methods-card/#basiccardresponse */
    var basicCardResponse = {};
    [ "cardholderName", "cardNumber","expiryMonth","expiryYear","cardSecurityCode"]
    .forEach(function(field) {
      basicCardResponse[field] = form.elements[field].value;
    });
    /* See https://w3c.github.io/payment-handler/#paymenthandlerresponse-dictionary */
    var paymentAppResponse = {
      methodName: "basic-card",
      details: details
    };
    e.source.postMessage(paymentAppResponse);
    window.close();
  }
});
</script>
            PaymentHandlerResponse dictionary
            dictionary PaymentHandlerResponse {
    DOMString methodName;
    object    details;
};
            methodName attribute
                The payment method identifier for the payment method that the user selected to fulfil the transaction.
details attribute
                A JSON-serializable object that provides a payment method specific message used by the merchant to process the transaction and determine successful fund transfer.
                    The user agent receives a successful response from the payment handler through resolution of the Promise provided to the
                    respondWith() function of the corresponding PaymentRequestEvent interface. The application is expected to resolve the Promise with a
                    PaymentHandlerResponse instance containing the payment response. In case of user cancellation or error, the application may signal failure
                    by rejecting the Promise.
                
If the Promise is rejected, the user agent MUST run the payment app failure algorithm. The exact details of this algorithm are left to implementers. Acceptable behaviors include, but are not limited to:
When this algorithm is invoked with event and handlerResponsePromise parameters, the user agent MUST run the following steps:
InvalidStateError" DOMException                    and abort these steps.
                InvalidStateError"
                    DOMException and abort these steps.
                PaymentHandlerResponse                            dictionary. If this throws an exception, run the
                            payment app failure algorithm and terminate these steps.
                        methodName is not present or not set to one of
                            the values from
                            event.methodData, run the payment app failure algorithm and terminate these steps.
                        details is not present or not JSON-serializable, run the payment app failure
              algorithm and terminate these steps.
                        methodName. Rethrow any exceptions.
                        details. Rethrow any exceptions.
                        The following example shows how to respond to a payment request:
paymentRequestEvent.respondWith(new Promise(function(accept,reject) {
  /* ... processing may occur here ... */
  accept({
    methodName: "basic-card",
    details: {
      cardHolderName:   "John Smith",
      cardNumber:       "1232343451234",
      expiryMonth:      "12",
      expiryYear :      "2020",
      cardSecurityCode: "123"
     }
  });
});
            [payment-request] defines an ID that parties in the ecosystem (including payment app providers and payees) may use for reconciliation after network or other failures.
The Web Payments Working Group is also discussing Payment App authenticity; see the (draft) Payment Method Manifest.
This specification relies on several other underlying specifications.
          TypeError, and JSON.stringify are defined by [ECMA-262-2015].
                
                    The term JSON-serialize applied to a given object means to run the algorithm specified by the original value of the JSON.stringify                    function on the supplied object, passing the supplied object as the sole argument, and return the resulting string. This can throw an exception.
                
When this specification says to throw an error, the user agent must throw an error as described in [WEBIDL]. When this occurs in a sub-algorithm, this results in termination of execution of the sub-algorithm and all ancestor algorithms until one is reached that explicitly describes procedures for catching exceptions.
The algorithm for converting an ECMAScript value to a dictionary is defined by [WEBIDL].
DOMException and the following DOMException types from [WEBIDL-LS] are used:
