Good question!
Right now, we’re discussing the protocols that such a company would use in these threads:
- AnyPay, a crypto merchant processor founded by @stevenzeiler , is interested in enabling merchants to accept payment via Interledger. The conversation about the features they need and the protocols they should use are here.
- @sabinebertram kicked off this thread about how we should handle simple peer-to-peer payments and payments for invoices.
- Pull Payments are a feature that are needed for recurring payments like subscriptions and may also be useful for eCommerce. The discussion about what that protocol should look like is here.
- The W3C Web Payments API would provide a nice user experience for the actual checkout flow built using the above protocols. @adrianhopebailie provided a useful overview of the options we have for integrating the above payment methods with that API here.
We’ll need SDKs for integrating these protocols into an eCommerce company’s service, connectors that can handle the volume, and wallets that support the sending side user experience.
