Imagine you could purchase items from your store, with pure JavaScript in the browser. How would it look like? Here's what I came up with. Forks & comments much appreciated! #nobackend #dreamcode

payments_dreamcode.js

// purchase a product with a credit card
purchase('productId')
.using( {
  cc: "4556934156210213",
  valid: "2016-10",
  csc: "123"
} )

// purchase a product with paypal
purchase('productId')
.using( 'paypal' )

// upgrade a user to a pro plan, payment via paypal.
purchase(
  account.upgradoTo( 'pro' )
).using('paypal')

FYI, there's a standard for this now.
Although the API is a bit more complex.
