Payments standards typically operate deep within a payment system, invisible to most of us. But before long a new standard for web browsers will touch us all. Known as the Payment Request API, it is one of the newer projects of the Word Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Supported by browser builders Mozilla, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and more, this new API should simplify web payments for consumers and merchants alike.

Join the W3C project leader Ian Jacobs and Glenbrook's George Peabody as they discuss the effort's goals, transaction flow, and status. It's coming very soon.
