Some <a title="payee">payees</a> would rather not require a <a>payer</a> to
register at their site before initiating a purchase:
<ul>
<li>
Sven wants to view a pay to read article and does so without needing to
pre-register with the website.
</li>
<li>
Reiko finds a blowtorch for sale at a local digital resale website and
places money into escrow without needing to register with the website.
</li>
<li>
Benny is listening to music in a local coffee shop and likes a song he hears.
He initiates a purchase of the song from the local "music beacon" without
needing to register with the coffee shop or the music service.

<dt>Motivation</dt>
<dd>
There are a large number of "paywall" websites on the Web that require a
customer to register before they may use the website. In many cases, if the
site isn't regularly visited by the customer, they abandon the transaction
when they see the paywall requirement. Providing a mechanism to sell an
inexpensive item to a customer without requiring registration would be of
great benefit to not only the merchants selling goods and services, but
customers that would like to avoid lengthy registration processes.
