Facebook Payment Mediator & Payment App

Hello W3C,

Happy holidays, I have a gift for you!

I am excited to inform you that Facebook is in the process of implementing the Payment Request API into one of our mobile in-app browser experiences through the standard FB Payments SDK. Like other implementers, we will not be supporting third-party payment apps out of the gate and we will likely be offering some proprietary tokenized-card-like payment instrument. More details on this will come in the next month or so.

This announcement comes in addition to our existing commitment towards implementing a mobile Facebook Payment App (we are working in concert with several browsers on this) that offers tokenized cards as its Payment Method. This is well underway and we are targeting some initial testing with Chrome in late January.
