Today, when I set the redirect_url with
localhost
or
127.0.0.1
, the payment request API responds with
"redirect_url": ["localhost not work for this field"]
This validation makes a lot of sense for webhooks but it makes no sense for redirect url.
From what I know (please correct me if I'm wrong), the redirect url is for the client browser to redirect back to the merchant once the payment is complete/cancelled. The url is not called from your server side. There should not be any issues by allowing localhost.
Although there are many ways to hack around this, I think it makes a lot of sense to allow
localhost
and
127.0.0.*
for redirect_url to ease local testing.
