A task force of the Web Payments Working Group has taken on the action of documenting the real-life payment flows for different methods of payment. Questions? Contact @mattsaxon.

Objectives

• Verify whether and how the proposals support flows in use in real life
• Identify any enhancements to the proposed flows or API to meet real life needs

Approach

• Identify a set of payments flow types that should be modelled - Complete
• Document the real-life flows currently in use in the wild - Complete
• Map these flows to proposed future flows for the WG specification proposals - In Progress
• Align these flows to ISO 20022 flows
• Identity key pieces of data that must be passed to achieve a robust payment transaction (including support for subsequent settlement/disputes etc.)
• Evaluate the resultant flows and provide recommendation/feedback to the WG
• Initiate process to submit target flows and messages to ISO 20022
