Web Monetization
Goals
Payment
Provide websites with a way to collect multiple small payments from users in exchange for consuming the site's content and/or services.
Frictionless user experience
Allow users to pre-approve payments in aggregate or delegate the authorization of individual small payments to a component/service (a Web Monetization agent) that makes decisions about when and how much to pay websites without the need for user interaction.
User privacy
This system must preserve the user's privacy. It must not be possible for websites to track users on the basis of the payments they make, and it must not be possible for the user's Web Monetization provider to get details of a user's browsing history.
