- th3w3bmast3r 2y agoit will be interesting to see how this pans out.
- SahAssar 2y agoIt's been around since 2016 and mozilla still haven't shipped it. I guess its one of those features where you can fall back to normal forms if it isn't around, but the only time I've actually seen it used was when implementing it on my own ecommerce platform.
- th3w3bmast3r 2y agoI didn't know that. Thank you for letting me know.
- jopsen 2y ago> Many problems related to online shopping cart abandonment can be traced to checkout forms, which can be difficult and time-consuming to fill out... People stop at the checkout forms because that's often the only place you actually know the price. There are so many dark patterns adding fees, adding shipping cost, or signup to newsletters, that the only place you know what you will be charged is when you're making the payment. It's not unlikely that people click through to checkout, just to find out what a thing will cost. ---- On topic, there certainly are place online where I'd rather use a browser based payment flow that ideally doesn't involve me sharing credit card numbers with a merchant.
- netsharc 2y agoHN title doesn't match article title... payments on HTTPS sites are plenty secure already, IMO. How is this more secure?

- Systemmanic 2y agoI love the consistency and simplicity of Apple Pay, be it online or IRL. I guess this helps to provide a similar experience online, but with support for all payment methods.
- hnburnsy 2y agoI dont know the implementation of this but I have allow website to check for payments disabled. What is to stop every web site from putting this on the homepage or every page? The API says they can get your address info but at least payment info is behind a user prompt.
