Support WM via link (rel=monetization) #147

Open sharon-wang opened 3 years ago

As per the discussion in https://github.com/WICG/webmonetization/issues/19, sites are allowed to enable WM via the link tag. The rel attribute is used to indicate monetization and the href attribute is to indicate the payment pointer address.

This has been implemented in Coil: https://github.com/coilhq/web-monetization-projects/pull/784.

At this time, the WM guide still only mentions the meta tag, so link is not likely to be widely used yet.
