Make billing address optional

agektmr commented 5 years ago

Looks like appending a billing address to a payment credential is not a common idea all over the world. In Japan we usually do not need one for credit card authorization.

Some merchants don't want to take additional sensitive data which is not required.
Credit card data usually don't come with a billing address in many cases (Chrome for example). Adding one is an extra step for easy checkouts.

I would like to propose making billing address optional by adding a new param something like:

dictionary PaymentOptions {
  boolean requestPayerName = false;
  boolean requestPayerEmail = false;
  boolean requestPayerPhone = false;
  boolean requestShipping = false;
  PaymentShippingType shippingType = "shipping";
  boolean requestBillingAddress = false; // New!
};

I'm not sure but the billing address is already optional in spec side. https://w3c.github.io/payment-method-basic-card/#basiccardresponse-dictionary Am I missing something?
