{{SeeCompatTable}}{{APIRef("Payment Request API")}}

The **`id`** read-only attribute of the
{{domxref("PaymentRequest")}} interface returns a unique identifier for a particular
{{domxref("PaymentRequest")}} instance.

When constructing an instance of the {{domxref("PaymentRequest")}}, you are able to
supply an custom id. If none is provided, the browser automatically sets the id value to a UUID.

## Example

This example shows how to give a {{domxref("PaymentRequest")}} instance a custom id.

```js
const details = {
  id: "super-store-order-123-12312",
  total: {
    label: "Total due",
    amount: { currency: "USD", value: "65.00" },
  },
};
const request = new PaymentRequest(methodData, details);
console.log(request.id); // super-store-order-123-12312
```

The `id` is then also available in the {{domxref("PaymentResponse")}}
returned from the `show()` method, but under the `requestId`
attribute.

```js
const response = await request.show();
console.log(response.requestId === request.id);

// And in serialized form too
const json = response.toJSON();
console.log(json.requestId,response.requestId, request.id);
```

## Syntax

```js
var id = paymentRequest.id
```

### Value

A {{domxref('DOMString')}}.
