I was thinking more along the lines of sharing my payment credentials with Rownd then just enabling payment when I log into one of your partners. The actual processing could be handled by y’all rather than passing raw cc info to each partne

So the user/visitor (browser?) has a single identity within Rownd and the data is aggregated across any Rownd partners… and then the user can request a magic link to finalize the verification step per partner site? Domain? And that che

And some people just aren't bothered by wearing it, so it isn't weird to just leave it in place when you're driving. I also don't take off my shirt, pants, and shoes the second I get in the car.
