checkout flows that support various payment schemes.</p>

<p>This specification describes an API that allows <a>user agents</a> (e.g., browsers) to act
as an intermediary between the three key parties in every transaction: the merchant (e.g., an
online web store), the buyer (e.g., the user buying from the online web store), and the
<dfn data-lt="payment method|payment methods">Payment Method</dfn> (e.g., credit card). Information
necessary to process and confirm a transaction is passed between the <a>Payment Method</a> and the
merchant via the <a>user agent</a> with the buyer confirming and authorizing as necessary across
the flow.</p>
as an intermediary between three systems in every transaction: the merchant (e.g., an
online web store), the buyer represented by the <a>user agent</a> (e.g., the user buying from the
online web store), and the <dfn data-lt="payment method|payment methods">Payment Method</dfn>
(e.g., credit card). Information necessary to process and confirm a transaction is passed between
the <a>Payment Method</a> and the merchant via the <a>user agent</a> with the buyer confirming
and authorizing as necessary across the flow.</p>

<p>In addition to better, more consistent user experiences, this also enables web sites to take
advantage of more secure payment schemes (e.g., tokenization and system-level authentication)
