Description

MDN URL

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Payment_Request_API/Concepts

What specific section or headline is this issue about?

URL-based payment method identifiers

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

This section only lists https://apple.com/apple-pay and https://google.com/pay as options.

What did you expect to see?

I'm told that at least a couple other URLs work. It would be good to find and list them, or explain how developers can discover them.

cc/ @stephenmcgruer who might have some more breadcrumbs toward the right thing to write here.
