Payment Handler API will require CSP connect-src

The Payment Handler API allows payment providers to make their custom payment experience available for merchants, along with the Payment Request API.
The information on this page only applies to websites that use both CSP (Content-Security-Policy) and the Payment Request API. If you use neither or only one of the two, then you can skip these instructions.
To check if your payment provider is using the Payment Handler API, contact them and follow their instructions.
If you are using the Payment Handler API and CSP (Content-Security-Policy) for better protection, you need to make sure the domains of HTTP requests sent from the browser are added to the connect-src directive of the CSP header.
For example, if your JavaScript code invokes new PaymentRequest([{supportedOrigins: ‘https://example.com/pay’}], details), then your CSP connect-src must include https://example.com or https://example.com/pay:
Content-Security-Policy: connect-src https://example.com/pay If https://example.com/pay is a cross-origin redirect, then the destination origin should be included in the CSP too. For example, if https://example.com/pay redirects to https://pay.example.com, then both origins must be included in the CSP:
Content-Security-Policy: connect-src https://example.com/pay https://pay.example.comA URL payment method identifier is allowed up to 3 same-site redirects. If any redirects occur, then all of the URLs must be in the CSP.
Try it out locally
To enable the feature locally before it is shipped:
- Go to
chrome://flags/#web-payment-api-cspon Chrome. - Change "CSP policy for Web Payment API" from "Default" to "Enabled".
- Restart Chrome.
Check the request URLs
To check the URLs of the requests sent from the Payment Handler API:
- Enable
chrome://flags/#web-payment-api-csp. - Go to your checkout page and open Chrome’s Developer Tools.
- Look for error messages like the following:
RangeError: Failed to construct 'PaymentRequest': https://example.com/pay payment method identifier violates Content Security Policy. - Add the specified method identifier to your CSP.
