Dear Payment WG,

I understand that you see Merchants as the primary "driver" for PaymentRequest.

However, Merchants cannot really do that much outside what PSPs and Banks support.
The latter continue investing in [native mode] Mobile payment systems because it does in their opinion not make sense to have specific solutions for the Web.  In fact, most of them are targeting the entire spectrum of consumer payments, including P2P.

A noteworthy characteristic of Mobile payment applications is that they come with *built-in security solutions*.  This presumable also has implications with respect to FIDO2/WebAuthn for payments.

If you want PaymentRequest to get more traction your best option may be creating a "bridge" between the PC/Web and the mentioned Mobile payment systems like outlined here:
https://github.com/w3c/payment-request/issues/865

If you can achieve a working bridge using another method that's fine; but whatever scheme you come up with it has to be *much* better than the existing solutions in order to motivate a conversion.

Sincerely,
Anders Rundgren
