The part for me where it breaks down is when you have to flip the card to the back to fill in the CVC. I also hate when fields auto-tab for me. Also, why does it hide the expiration date and name fields initially?

Perhaps existing forms make you select the type of card as an extra check.

Not a very good reason, if you mistype a cc number it will most likely be completely invalid anyway.

Can't ctrl+a to select the whole card number input textfield and type over it :-/

So that when it detects which type of card it is the date and name fields can be placed where they are on that type card.

My only complain is that it auto-progresses across sections of inputs (between month and year in the expiration for example) it does not auto-progress when you reach the end of one form. I found that jarring. If you are going to auto-progress in one place, you probably should across the board.

>Every question a user has to ask themselves during the checkout process is another reason for them not to complete it. ( http://kenkeiter.com/2013/07/21/redesigning-credit-card-inpu... ) "Wait, where do I put the CVC, name and expiration date?"

And for bonus points, the card issuer is known from the first digits. But perhaps a copyright issue to display logos.

Square on iOS has had a similar input since it first came out. Its a great way to enter credit card numbers on a mobile phone where you don't have a tab key etc.

Making the whole thing look like a credit card doesn't seem necessary at all.

Upvoting because this is so beautifully executed and I'd love to see people test this out on their checkout process. That said, my experience indicates that this is not going to convert well. To mirror the author's own quote: "Every question a user has to ask themselves during the checkout process is another reason for them not to complete it." What's presented here is a drastically different experience from the norm…

> But I'll test it anyways.

Please do. It's true that "it doesn't behave the way you'd expect if you've ever bought anything else online", but the (somewhat rational in a business sense) fear of it is why we're stuck with things that suck, the "first designs" that got popular and that now we're too afraid to change.
