PaymentRequest

Secure context

The Payment Request API’s PaymentRequest interface is the primary access point into the API, and lets web content and apps accept payments from the end user on behalf of the operator of the site or the publisher of the app.

Constructor

• PaymentRequest()
  • : Creates a new PaymentRequest object.

Instance properties

• id Read only
  • : A unique identifier for a particular PaymentRequest, which can be set via details.id. When none is set, it defaults to a UUID.
• shippingAddress Read only Deprecated
  • : If requested via payment options, returns the shipping address chosen by the user for the purposes of calculating shipping. This property is only populated if the constructor is called with the requestShipping flag set to true. Additionally, in some browsers, the parts of the address will be redacted for privacy until the user indicates they are ready to complete the transaction (i.e., they hit “Pay”).
• shippingOption Read only Deprecated
  • : Returns the identifier of the selected shipping option. This property is only populated if the constructor is called with the requestShipping flag set to true.
• shippingType Read only Deprecated
  • : Returns the type of shipping used to fulfill the transaction. This will be one of shipping, delivery, pickup, or null if a value was not provided in the constructor.

Static methods

• PaymentRequest.securePaymentConfirmationAvailability() Experimental
  • : Indicates whether the Secure payment confirmation feature is available.

Instance methods

• canMakePayment()
  • : Indicates whether the PaymentRequest object can make a payment before calling show().
• show()
  • : Causes the user agent to begin the user interaction for the payment request.
• abort()
  • : Causes the user agent to end the payment request and to remove any user interface that might be shown.

Events

• merchantvalidation Deprecated
  • : With some payment handlers (e.g., Apple Pay), this event handler is called to handle the merchantvalidation event, which is dispatched when the user agent requires that the merchant validate that the merchant or vendor requesting payment is legitimate.
• paymentmethodchange
  • : With some payment handlers (e.g., Apple Pay), dispatched whenever the user changes payment instrument, like switching from a credit card to a debit card.
• shippingaddresschangeDeprecated
  • : Dispatched whenever the user changes their shipping address.
