859989 - Enhance navigator.mozPay() to get price/currency for price point

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: DOM: Device Interfaces, defect)

Description

[Kumar McMillan [:kumar]]

Current, a developer defines the price of an in-app product like this:

{
  request: {
    name: "Magical Unicorn",
    description: "Adventure game item",
    pricePoint: 1
  }
}

pricePoint is an abstraction that enables carrier billing across different regions easier. For Mozilla's pay provider, the number maps to a value here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Apps/Publishing/Marketplace_Payments#Price_points (not final)

Let's provide a new navigator.mozPay() helper method to translate a price point into a price in the localized currency.

Use case: a developer wants to display a Buy button and *also* wants to display the price of the item.

For Mozilla's pay provider, we have this server API to use:

Cleaning up Device Interfaces component, and mass-marking old FxOS bugs as incomplete.

If any of these bugs are still valid, please let me know.
