This is proposed home page of the proposed payments working group. The goal is to make payments better for the web. This is a seperate project from the Marketplace, although the Marketplace payments team might become consumers of the outcomes of this group.

Mailing list: https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/wg-payments

Goals

Make payments more secure, easier for developers and users. More random notes: http://www.agmweb.ca/2013-11-04-payments-we-deserve/

Ideas

Payment chooser

Users and developers should not be locked down into just one payment choice. A payment chooser would allow users to chose alternative payment systems when starting off the payment flow.

Trusted UI

Is trusted UI a valued approach? Could we do something more with this UI and expand this to more systems. Currently its only usable by persona and marketplace payments.

Device API

There are discreet and useful APIs that we can create after our experience with the Marketplace. See: https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/Direct_Billing for a proposal.

Data

Entering all the data is repetitive. Can we store user data in a secure way. See: http://www.chromium.org/developers/using-requestautocomplete

Privacy

Could the client act as a broker to prevent the passing of personal information?

Transparency

Can there be an improvement in the transparency of where your personal information is going, how the payment is going to be split up and what happens afterwards in terms of refunds?

Alternatives

Supporting alternative payment systems.
