Is there a _convenient_ way to bill the user for microtransactions and subsriptions, after you have added the page to the home screen?

As far as I know, the web alternatives are miles behind the convenience of ”click the side button twice to confirm this payment” that an app provides.

On iOS devices that support Apple Pay, yes, this is available to the browser for transactions. Not sure what mechanism exactly, I’m just an end user using Apple Pay to pay on websites in Safari on my iPhone without any issues.
