Even more disappointingly, there is an open W3C standard in progress for payments. Ah well, such is Apple.
- ihuman 10y agoDoes anyone use that standard? This is the first time I've heard that there was a standard.
- lern_too_spel 10y agoGoogle announced web payments integration for Android Pay using the Web Payments API last month. Just like Apple Pay for the web, nobody is using it now, but it's on the Chrome roadmap.
- sjwright 10y agoSo therefore it's a question of whether Google or Apple get to muscle their way to influencing the eventual W3C standard, by deploying a pre-standard implementation. Same difference in my view. Yet somehow Apple is smacked down for it?
- cmdrfred 10y agoToo bad this space is so heavy regulated. I'd like to see a free and open source implementation pushing the standard.
- lern_too_spel 10y agoBoth the Firefox and Chromium implementations of the payments api are free and open source.
- Touche 10y agoIf by same difference you mean "one is being developed in the open, with editors from Microsoft, Firefox, and Facebook and the other was developed in private and has the company's name in the API"... then yes, same difference.
- paulirish 10y agoIt appears there isn't too much of a gap with the Web Payments API. Today, the Safari team posted their intent to rectify the differences: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-payments-wg/2016Jun/0013.html https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-payments-wg/2016...
