This specification standardizes an API to allow merchants (i.e. web sites selling physical or digital goods) to utilize one or more payment methods with minimal integration. User agents (e.g., browsers) facilitate the payment flow between merchant and user.
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at https://www.w3.org/TR/.
The working group maintains a list of all bug reports that the group has not yet addressed. Pull requests with proposed specification text for outstanding issues are strongly encouraged.
The deadline for comments for Candidate Recommendation is 31 October 2017.
If you wish to make comments regarding this document, please raise them as GitHub issues. Only send comments by email if you are unable to raise issues on GitHub (see links below). All comments are welcome.
The working group will demonstrate implementation experience by producing an implementation report. The report will show two or more independent implementations passing each mandatory test in the test suite (i.e., each test corresponds to a MUST requirement of the specification).
There has been no change in dependencies on other workings groups during the development of this specification.
This document was published by the Web Payments Working Group as a Working Draft. This document is intended to become a W3C Recommendation.
Please see the Working Group's implementation report.
Publication as a Working Draft does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.
This document was produced by a group operating under the 5 February 2004 W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.
This document is governed by the 1 March 2017 W3C Process Document.
As this specification enters the Candidate Recommendation phase of the W3C standardization process, the working group has identified the following feature(s) as being "at risk" of being removed from the specification. The working group seeks input from implementers, developers, and the general public on whether these features should remain in the specification. If no compelling use cases are received, or if there is limited interest from implementers, these features will be removed from the specification before proceeding along the W3C Recommendation track.
currencySystem
(see
issue
490).
This section is non-normative.
This specification describes an API that allows user agents (e.g., browsers) to act as an intermediary between three parties in a transaction:
The details of how to fulfill a payment request for a given payment method are handled by payment handlers. In this specification, these details are left up to the user agent, but future specifications may expand on the processing model in more detail.
This API also enables web sites to take advantage of more secure payment schemes (e.g., tokenization and system-level authentication) that are not possible with standard JavaScript libraries. This has the potential to reduce liability for the merchant and helps protect sensitive user information.
This section is non-normative.
In order to use the API, the developer needs to provide and keep track of a number of key pieces of information. These bits of information are passed to the PaymentRequest
constructor as arguments, and subsequently used to update the payment request being displayed to the user. Namely, these bits of information are:
PaymentMethodData
s that represents the payment methods that the site supports (e.g., "we support card-based payments, but only Visa and MasterCard credit cards.").
PaymentDetailsInit
dictionary. This includes total cost, and optionally a list of goods or services being purchased, for physical goods, and shipping
options. Additionally, it can optionally include "modifiers" to how payments are made. For example, "if you pay with a credit card of type X, it incurs a US$3.00 processing fee".
PaymentOptions
that the site needs to deliver the good or service (e.g., for physical goods, the merchant will typically need an physical address to
ship to. For digital goods, an email will usually suffice).
Once a PaymentRequest
is constructed, it's presented to the end user via the show()
method. The show()
returns a promise that, once the user confirms request for payment, results in a
PaymentResponse
.
methodData
argument
The methodData sequence contains PaymentMethodData
dictionaries containing the payment method identifiers for the
payment methods that the web site accepts and any associated
payment method specific data.
const methodData = [
{
supportedMethods: "basic-card",
data: {
supportedNetworks: ["visa", "mastercard"],
supportedTypes: ["debit", "credit"],
},
},
{
supportedMethods: "https://example.com/bobpay",
data: {
merchantIdentifier: "XXXX",
bobPaySpecificField: true,
},
},
];
details
argument
The details contains information about the transaction that the user is being asked to complete, such as the line items in an order.
const details = {
id: "super-store-order-123-12312",
displayItems: [
{
label: "Sub-total",
amount: { currency: "USD", value: "55.00" },
},
{
label: "Sales Tax",
amount: { currency: "USD", value: "5.00" },
},
],
total: {
label: "Total due",
amount: { currency: "USD", value: "65.00" },
},
};
Here we see an example of how to add two shipping options to the details.
const shippingOptions = [
{
id: "standard",
label: "🚛 Ground Shipping (2 days)",
amount: { currency: "USD", value: "5.00" },
selected: true,
},
{
id: "drone",
label: "🚀 Drone Express (2 hours)",
amount: { currency: "USD", value: "25.00" }
},
];
Object.assign(details, { shippingOptions });
Here we see how to add a processing fee for using a credit card. Notice that it requires recalculating the total.
// Credit card incurs a $3.00 processing fee.
const creditCardFee = {
label: "Credit card processing fee",
amount: { currency: "USD", value: "3.00" },
};
// Modifiers apply when the user chooses to pay with
// a credit card.
const modifiers = [
{
additionalDisplayItems: [creditCardFee],
supportedMethods: "basic-card",
total: {
label: "Total due",
amount: { currency: "USD", value: "68.00" },
},
data: {
supportedTypes: "credit",
},
},
];
Object.assign(details, { modifiers });
options
argument
The options dictionary contains information the developer needs from the user to perform the payment (e.g., the payer's name and shipping address).
const options = {
requestPayerEmail: false,
requestPayerName: true,
requestPayerPhone: false,
requestShipping: true,
}
PaymentRequest
Having gathered all the prerequisite bits of information, we can now construct a PaymentRequest
and request that the browser present it to the user:
async function doPaymentRequest() {
try {
const request = new PaymentRequest(methodData, details, options);
// See below for a detailed example of handling these events
request.onshippingaddresschange = ev => ev.updateWith(details);
request.onshippingoptionchange = ev => ev.updateWith(details);
const response = await request.show();
await validateResponse(response);
} catch (err) {
// AbortError, SecurityError
console.error(err);
}
}
async function validateResponse(response) {
try {
if (await checkAllValuesAreGood(response)) {
await response.complete("success");
} else {
await response.complete("fail");
}
} catch (err) {
// Something went wrong...
await response.complete("fail");
}
}
doPaymentRequest();
Prior to the user accepting to make payment, the site is given an opportunity to update the payment request in response to user input. This can include, for example, providing additional shipping options (or modifying their cost), removing items that cannot ship to a particular address, etc.
const request = new PaymentRequest(methodData, details, options);
// Async update to details
request.onshippingaddresschange = ev => {
ev.updateWith(checkShipping(request));
};
// Sync update to the total
request.onshippingoptionchange = ev => {
const shippingOption = shippingOptions.find(
option => option.id === request.id
);
const newTotal = {
currency: "USD",
label: "Total due",
value: calculateNewTotal(shippingOption),
};
ev.updateWith({ ...details, total: newTotal });
};
async function checkShipping(request) {
try {
const json = request.shippingAddress.toJSON();
await ensureCanShipTo(json);
const { shippingOptions, total } = await calculateShipping(json);
return { ...details, shippingOptions, total };
} catch (err) {
return { ...details, error: `Sorry! we can't ship to your address.` };
}
}
It's expected that data in a PaymentResponse
will be POSTed back to a server for processing. To make this as easy as possible,
PaymentResponse
provides a toJSON()
method that
serializes the object directly into JSON. This makes it trivial to POST the resulting JSON back to a server using the Fetch API:
async function doPaymentRequest() {
const payRequest = new PaymentRequest(methodData, details, options);
const payResponse = await payRequest.show();
let result = "";
try {
const httpResponse = await fetch("/process-payment", {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: payResponse.toJSON(),
});
result = httpResponse.ok ? "success" : "fail";
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
result = "fail";
}
await payResponse.complete(result);
}
doPaymentRequest();

};
A developer creates a PaymentRequest
to make a payment request. This is typically associated with the user initiating a payment process (e.g.,
by activating a "Buy," "Purchase," or "Checkout" button on a web site, selecting a "Power Up" in an interactive game, or paying at a kiosk in a parking structure). The
PaymentRequest
allows developers to exchange information with the user agent while the user is providing input (up to the point of user approval or denial of the payment request).
The shippingAddress
, shippingOption
,
and
shippingType
attributes are populated during processing if the
requestShipping
member is set.
Because the simultaneous display of multiple PaymentRequest
user interfaces might confuse the user, this specification limits the
user agent to displaying one at a time via the show()
method. This is ensured
by a payment request is showing boolean.
The PaymentRequest
is constructed using the supplied
methodData list including any payment method specific data
,
the payment
details, and the payment options.
The PaymentRequest(methodData,
details, options)
constructor MUST act as follows:
allowpaymentrequest

show()
method
The show()
method is called when a developer wants to begin user interaction for the payment request. The show()
method returns a Promise that will be resolved when the user
accepts the payment request. Some kind of user interface will be presented to the user to facilitate the payment request after the show()
method
returns.
It is not possible to show multiple PaymentRequest
s at the same time within one user agent.
If a PaymentRequest
is already showing, calling show()
—from any Web site— will return a promise rejected with an "AbortError
"
DOMException
.
The show()
method MUST act as follows:
PaymentRequest
object on which the method is called.
AbortError
" DOMException
.
Optionally, if the user agent wishes to disallow the call to show()
to protect the user, then return a promise rejected with a "SecurityError
" DOMException
.
For example, the user agent may require the call to be
triggered by user activation, or may limit the rate at which a page can call show()
, as described in the privacy considerations section.
During the Candidate Recommendation phase, implementations are expected to experiment in this area. Developers using this API should investigate and anticipate such experiments and understand under what circumstances a "
SecurityError
"
DOMException
might occur. If interoperable behavior emerges amongst user agents, then that behavior will be standardized
here before progressing the specification along the
W3C Recommendation Track.
InvalidStateError
"
DOMException
.
AbortError
" DOMException
.
Optionally:
AbortError
"
DOMException
.
This allows the user agent to act as if the user had immediately aborted the payment request, at its discretion. For example, in "private browsing" modes or similar, user agents might take advantage of this step.
NotSupportedError
"
DOMException
, and set the user agent's payment
request is showing boolean to false.
Otherwise, present a user interface to allow the user to interact with the handlers. The user agent SHOULD prioritize the preference of the user when presenting payment methods.
For the payment handler selected by the end-user, the user agent MUST pass the converted second element in the paymentMethod tuple. Optionally, the user agent SHOULD send the appropriate data from request to the user-selected payment handler in order to guide the user through the payment process. This includes the various attributes and internal slots of request (some MAY be excluded for privacy reasons where appropriate).
The acceptPromise will later be resolved or rejected by either the user accepts the payment request algorithm or the user aborts the payment request algorithm, which are triggered through interaction with the user interface.
If document stops being fully active while the user interface is being shown, or no longer is by the time this step is reached, then the user interface
SHOULD be hidden, and
acceptPromise SHOULD be rejected with an "
AbortError
" DOMException
.
abort()
method
The abort()
method is called if a developer wishes to tell the user agent to abort the payment request and to tear down any user interface that might be shown. The
abort()
can only be called after the show()
method has been called (see states) and before this instance's [[acceptPromise]] has been resolved. For example, developers might choose to do this if the goods they are selling are only available for a limited amount of time. If the user does not accept the payment request within the allowed time period, then
the request will be aborted.
A user agent might not always be able to abort a request. For example, if the user agent has delegated responsibility for the request to another app. In this situation, abort()
will reject the returned Promise.
See also the algorithm when the user aborts the payment request.
The abort()
method MUST act as follows:
PaymentRequest
object on which the method is called.
InvalidStateError
"
DOMException
.
InvalidStateError
"
DOMException
and abort these steps.
AbortError
" DOMException
.
canMakePayment()
method
The canMakePayment()
method can be used by the developer to determine if the PaymentRequest
object can be used to make a payment, before they call show()
. It returns a Promise that will be fulfilled with true if the user agent supports any of the desired payment methods supplied to the
PaymentRequest
constructor, and false if none are supported. If the method is called too often, the user agent might instead return a promise rejected
with a "NotAllowedError
"
DOMException
, at its discretion.
The canMakePayment()
method MUST act as follows:
PaymentRequest
object on which the method was called.
InvalidStateError
"
DOMException
.
NotAllowedError
"
DOMException
.
This allows user agents to apply heuristics to detect and prevent abuse of the canMakePayment()
method for fingerprinting
purposes, such as creating PaymentRequest
objects with a variety of supported payment methods and calling
canMakePayment()
on them one after the other. For example, a user agent may restrict the number of successful calls that
can be made based on the top-level browsing context or the time period in which those calls were made.
supportedMethods
is a supported payment method identifier (including its
payment method specific capabilities), resolve
promise with true, and abort this algorithm.
shippingAddress
attribute
A PaymentRequest
's shippingAddress
attribute
is populated when the user provides a shipping address. It is null by default. When a user provides a shipping address, the shipping
address changed algorithm runs.
shippingType
attribute
A PaymentRequest
's shippingType
attribute is the
type of shipping used to fulfill the transaction. Its value is either a
PaymentShippingType
enum value, or null if none is provided by the developer during construction
(see
PaymentOptions
's shippingType
member).
onshippingaddresschange
attribute
A PaymentRequest
's onshippingaddresschange
attribute is an EventHandler
for a PaymentRequestUpdateEvent
named
shippingaddresschange
.
shippingOption
attribute
A PaymentRequest
's shippingOption
attribute
is populated when the user chooses a shipping option. It is null by default. When a user chooses a shipping option, the shipping
option changed algorithm runs.
onshippingoptionchange
attribute
A PaymentRequest
's onshippingoptionchange
attribute is an EventHandler
for a PaymentRequestUpdateEvent
named
shippingoptionchange
.
Instances of PaymentRequest
are created with the internal slots in the following table:
Internal Slot | Description (non-normative) |
---|---|
[[serializedMethodData]] |
The methodData supplied to the constructor, but represented as tuples containing supported methods and a string or null for data (instead of the original object form).
|
[[serializedModifierData]] |
A list containing the serialized string form of each data member for each corresponding
item in the sequence
[[details]].modifier, or null if no
such member was present.
|
[[details]] |
The current PaymentDetailsBase for the payment request initially supplied to the constructor and then updated with calls to updateWith(). Note that all data members of PaymentDetailsModifier instances contained in the
modifiers
member will be removed, as they are instead stored in serialized form in the [[serializedModifierData]] internal slot.
|
[[options]] |
The PaymentOptions supplied to the constructor.
|
[[state]] |
The current state of the payment request, which transitions from:
The state transitions are illustrated in the figure below: |
[[updating]] | true is there is a pending updateWith() call to update the payment request and false otherwise. |
[[acceptPromise]] | The pending Promise created during show that will be resolved if the user accepts the payment request. |

};
A PaymentCurrencyAmount
dictionary is used to supply monetary amounts.
currency
member
A string containing a currency identifier. The value of
currency
can be any string that is valid within the currency system indicated by currencySystem
.
When using [ISO4217], all well-formed 3-letter alphabetic codes are allowed (i.e., the numeric codes are not supported). Their canonical form is upper case. However, the set of combinations of currency code for which localized currency symbols are available is implementation dependent. Where a localized currency symbol is not available, a user agent SHOULD use U+00A4 (¤) for formatting.

shippingOptions
member
A sequence containing the different shipping options for the user to choose from.
If an item in the sequence has the selected
member set to true, then this is the shipping
option that will be used by default and
shippingOption
will be set to the id
of this option without running the shipping option changed
algorithm. Authors SHOULD NOT set selected
to
true on more than one item. If more than one item in the sequence has
selected

};
A PaymentResponse
is returned when a user has selected a payment method and approved a payment request.
toJSON()
method
When called, runs [WEBIDL]'s default toJSON operation.
methodName
attribute
The payment method identifier for the payment method that the user selected to fulfill the transaction.
details
attribute
An object or dictionary generated by a payment method that a merchant can use to process or validate a transaction (depending on the payment method).
shippingAddress
attribute
If the requestShipping
member was set to true in the PaymentOptions
passed to the
PaymentRequest
constructor, then shippingAddress
will be the full and final shipping address chosen by the user.
shippingOption
attribute
If the requestShipping
member was set to true in the PaymentOptions
passed to the
PaymentRequest
constructor, then shippingOption
will be the
id
attribute of the selected shipping option.
payerName
attribute
If the requestPayerName
member was set to true in the PaymentOptions
passed to the
PaymentRequest
constructor, then payerName
will be the name provided by the user.
payerEmail
attribute
If the requestPayerEmail
member was set to true in the PaymentOptions
passed to the
PaymentRequest
constructor, then payerEmail
will be the email address chosen by the user.
payerPhone
attribute
If the requestPayerPhone
member was set to true in the PaymentOptions
passed to the
PaymentRequest
constructor, then payerPhone
will be the phone number chosen by the user.
requestId
attribute
The corresponding payment request id
that spawned this payment response.
complete()
method
The complete()
method is called after the user has accepted the payment request and the [[acceptPromise]] has been resolved. Calling the complete()
method tells the user
agent that the payment interaction is over (and SHOULD cause any remaining user interface to be closed).
After the payment request has been accepted and the
PaymentResponse
returned to the caller but before the caller calls complete()
the payment request user interface remains in a pending state. At this point the user interface ought not offer a cancel command because acceptance of the payment request has been returned. However, if something goes wrong and the developer
never calls complete()
then the user interface is blocked.
For this reason, implementations MAY impose a timeout for developers to call complete()
. If the timeout
expires then the implementation will behave as if complete()
was called with no arguments.
The complete(result) method MUST act as follows:
InvalidStateError
"
DOMException
.
Instances of PaymentResponse
are created with the internal slots in the following table:

eventInitDict),
SecureContext,
Exposed=Window]
interface PaymentRequestUpdateEvent
: Event
{
void updateWith(Promise<PaymentDetailsUpdate
> detailsPromise);
};
The PaymentRequestUpdateEvent
enables developers to update the details of the payment request in response to a user interaction.
The PaymentRequestUpdateEvent
constructor MUST set the internal slot [[waitForUpdate]] to false.
updateWith()
method
The updateWith(detailsPromise) method MUST act as follows:

Return from the method and perform the remaining steps in parallel.
The remaining steps are conditional on the detailsPromise settling. If detailsPromise never settles then the payment request is blocked. Users SHOULD always be able to cancel a payment request. Implementations MAY choose to implement a timeout for pending updates if detailsPromise doesn't settle in a reasonable amount of time. If an implementation chooses to implement a timeout, they must execute the steps listed below in the "upon rejection" path. Such a timeout is a fatal error for the payment request.

requestShipping
is true, and
request.[[details]].shippingOptions

). In this case, the user agent SHOULD display an error indicating this, and MAY indicate that the currently-chosen shipping address is invalid in some way. The user agent
SHOULD use the error
member of
details, if it is present, to give more information about why there are no valid shipping options for that address.
If any of the above steps say to abort the update with an exception exception, then:
Aborting the update is performed when there is a fatal error updating the payment request, such as the supplied detailsPromise rejecting, or its fulfillment value containing invalid data. This would potentially leave the payment request in an inconsistent state since the developer hasn't successfully handled the change event. Consequently, the PaymentRequest
moves to a "
closed" state. The error is signaled to the developer through the rejection of the [[acceptPromise]],
i.e., the promise returned by show()
.
User agents might show an error message to the user when this occurs.

This section is non-normative.
The PaymentRequest
API does not directly support encryption of data fields. Individual payment methods may choose to include support for encrypted data but it is not mandatory that all
payment methods support this.
For security reasons, a user agent can limit matching (in
show()
and canMakePayment()
) to
payment handlers
from the same origin as a URL
payment method identifier. User agents can also use information provided by a payment method owner to match
payment handlers from other origins.
The user agent MUST NOT share information about the user with a developer (e.g., the shipping address) without user consent.
Developers might try to call the payment request API repeatedly with only one payment method identifier to try to determine what payment methods a user agent has installed. There are legitimate scenarios for calling repeatedly (for example, to control the flow of payment method selection). The fact that a successful match to a payment method causes a user interface to be displayed mitigates the disclosure risk. Implementations MAY require a user action to initiate a payment request or they MAY rate limit the calls to the API to prevent too many repeated calls.
This specification relies on several other underlying specifications.
EventHandler
,
queue a
task, user interaction
task source, top-level browsing
context, current settings
object, allowed to use,
triggered by
user activation, in parallel, the
iframe
element, and the allowpaymentrequest
attribute.
RangeError
, TypeError
, and JSON.stringify
are defined by [ECMASCRIPT].
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.
Event
interface, The EventInit
dictionary, and the terms fire an event,
dispatch flag,
stop propagation
flag, isTrusted
attribute, and
stop immediate
propagation flag are defined by [DOM].
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] are used: "
AbortError
", "
InvalidStateError
", "
NotAllowedError
", "
NotSupportedError
", and "
SecurityError
".
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, MUST NOT, RECOMMENDED, SHOULD, and SHOULD NOT are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
There is only one class of product that can claim conformance to this specification: a user agent.
Although this specification is primarily targeted at web browsers, it is feasible that other software could also implement this specification in a conforming manner.
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.
User agents MAY impose implementation-specific limits on otherwise unconstrained inputs, e.g., to prevent denial of service attacks, to guard against running out of memory, or to work around platform-specific
limitations. When an input exceeds implementation-specific limit, the user agent MUST throw, or, in the context of a promise, reject with, a TypeError
optionally informing the developer of how a particular input exceeded an implementation-specific limit.
