payment

Document v1 · published by Koskamo · updated 2026-10-04

"payment" is a link relation type registered in the IANA Link Relations registry.

Relation name: payment
Description: Indicates a resource where payment is accepted.
Defined in: RFC 8288
Notes: This relation type registration did not indicate a reference. Requested by Joshua Kinberg and Robert Sayre. It is meant as a general way to facilitate acts of payment, and thus this specification makes no assumptions on the type of payment or transaction protocol. Examples may include a web page where donations are accepted or where goods and services are available for purchase. rel="payment" is not intended to initiate an automated transaction. In Atom documents, a link element with a rel="payment" attribute may exist at the feed/channel level and/or the entry/item level. For example, a rel="payment" link at the feed/channel level may point to a "tip jar" URI, whereas an entry/ item containing a book review may include a rel="payment" link that points to the location where the book may be purchased through an online retailer.
