> How does this make developers' lives easier than existing solutions? I'm kinda thinking it doesn't. One way it makes developers' lives easier is by providing a single API through which you can offer multiple payment services (Apple Pay, Android Pay, PayPal, etc), rather than requiring separate integrations and code for each service. However, the main attraction is it gets rid of auto-fill - which is frequently clunky - and replaces it with a unified check-out process. The benefit there is for the user, not the developer. > Odd that none of the editors are, you know, actually from companies that do meaningful e-commerce.
