This will allow content creators and website owners to receive remuneration for their work without relying solely on advertising or subscriptions.
Website owners will be able to make payments voluntary or mandatory, for example, charging 2 cents for each new page.
Web monetization support can be added to any web page using HTML element rel=”monetization”. This tag will tell the browser that the site supports web monetization and specifies the payment processor to use.
Web monetization offers two unique features – small payments and no user interaction – users pay for content when they consume it.
With web monetization, website owners can express their interest in receiving payments, while the visitor retains full control over how much money they are willing to pay for content.
