The [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Payment_Request_API Payment Request API] makes online purchases easier without having to fill in all of the personal and payment information over and over again. Together with the [[Firefox/Features/Form_Autofill|form autofill feature]], it saves user's time and effort when making online purchases by storing their personal and payment information in Firefox to be used when a merchant requests payment.  The Payment Request UI provides consistency across merchant sites.

The overall objective is to increase user engagement, satisfaction, and retention for frequent online shoppers. We believe this can be achieved by enabling users to complete forms and “check out” in e-commerce flows as quickly and securely as possible.
The [https://www.w3.org/TR/payment-handler/ Payment Handler API] builds upon Payment Request by providing a pluggable protocol (based on service workers) which facilitates purchasing through third party payment providers. Payment Handlers allows web-based payment applications to act as Payment Request payment methods which can be integrated into merchant websites.
 
The [https://www.w3.org/TR/payment-request/ W3C Payment Request API] is a Candidate Recommendation and has already been implemented in other major web browsers. The API is extensible to any payment method without requiring the browser to be Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant.
