Google has announced plans to integrate Web Monetization into Chrome, providing website owners with an additional revenue stream through micro-payments.
This new feature will allow users to tip or reward content creators directly, enhancing the monetization options beyond traditional ads or subscriptions.
“Web Monetization is a web technology that enables website owners to receive micro-payments from users as they interact with their content,” Google said.
“It provides a way for content creators and website owners to be compensated for their work without relying solely on ads or subscriptions.”
The implementation of Web Monetization can be achieved by adding a simple HTML element:
<link rel="monetization" href="https://example.com/pay">. This tag signals to the browser that the website supports web monetization and designates the specified payment processor.
