methodName Optional: A string containing the payment method identifier for the payment handler being used. This is an empty string by default.
validationURL Optional: The URL from which to retrieve payment handler specific verification information used to validate the merchant. This is an empty string by default.

Return value

A new MerchantValidationEvent object providing the information that needs to be delivered to the client-side code to present to the user agent by calling complete().
