Syntax

JAVASCRIPT

const request = new PaymentRequest(
  [{ supportedMethods: 'basic-card' }],
  { total: { label: 'Total', amount: { currency: 'JPY', value: '1000' } } }
);
const response = await request.show();

Use cases

Use Payment request
Use Payment request when standard HTML needs a more specific platform feature, semantic signal, or browser capability.
Handle edge cases
Apply Payment request to solve a focused requirement without redesigning the whole page architecture.

Cautions

Test Payment request in your target browsers and input environments before depending on it as a primary behavior.
Provide a fallback path or acceptable degradation strategy when support is still limited.
