W3C Releases First Public Working Draft of Payment Method Manifest

December 2017

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has released a First Public Working Draft of its Payment Method Manifest. The document, which is intended to become a W3C Recommendation, addresses the following use cases:

  • The owner of a payment method wishes to authorize only certain parties to distribute payment apps that are capable of implementing the payment method

  • The owner of a payment method wishes to confirm the authenticity of a particular payment app

  • When the user has not yet installed a payment app for a payment method, the user agent can provide an improved user experience for procuring one

For related work underway at ISO, please see ISO/TC 68, the Technical Committee concerned with financial services.

Abstract

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has released a First Public Working Draft of its Payment Method Manifest, which is intended to become a W3C Recommendation.
