Firefox extension to prompt to use Apple Pay when available. The intended behavior is to notify the user that Apple Pay is available on the site and allow them to open it within Safari to make the purchase there.
It doesn't really work... yet.
The src directory can be loaded into Firefox as a temporary extension.
Issues to deal with:
- Determine a mechanism to inject the
ApplePaySessioninto the current page so that is available to scripts there. - Most payment sites inspect the user agent before checking for the presence
of
window.ApplePaySession, meaning that mocking it is insufficient. Need to adopt [1] some functionality for spoofing user agents? In the meantime other extensions [2] can be used. - When the user agent is spoofed, current
- Once the core mechanics are working, need to provide a reasonable way for the user to open Safari on the same site to complete the purchase.
