an additional payment option for Taler is
enabled in the checkout system. If the
customer selects payments via Taler, the wallet
displays the secured contract from the merchant

require the customer to provide any identity
information to the merchant. Transaction
histories and digitally signed contracts can be
preserved in the wallet for future review by
