Sure, he's called Jacob Neilson and he wrote a shit tonne of books on the subject about ten years ago. Although I understand that its the norm to ignore previous computing history for the illusion of inventing something, more so if it's pretty.

Guess you ignored the "excluding call-to-authority" part of my post.

No one has tested this form. So just putting it down seems premature.

I'd prefer people to be data driven, than just cargo culters.

If you Google "checkout conversion remove field," you should see a number of articles on this, including some with A/B tests. The trend seems to be that the fewer fields shown or required, the better conversion is.

Doesn't that make this field better? Not worse. So the data says this field will convert more?

I'll be sending you a pull request in a day or two. I work with dead, blind, hard of hearing, and visually impaired folks. I see a few places where accessibility could be improved with respect to screen readers. Would you be open to a patch like that?

I swear I'm not a grammar nazi, but I did just spend the past 10 minutes thinking about ideal user interfaces for zombies and vampires. Thanks for that...

Hahaha.... I was half asleep when I wrote that. That's pretty amazing. Thank you for the laugh. :)

On my android with firefox it very was easy to see that the XXXX was an input-box that had to be filled in because each field had a small frame around it, i was surprised to see so many having trouble understanding it. Then i tried in my desktop browser (firefox, chrome and ie) and there there is no frame around the unfocused input fields, the numbers stand alone making it look like a static image of a credit card, except when the fields are focused. This little change made the experience much worse, i suggest always showing the frames around the fields.

I like what you guys are doing. I had this same idea when I started Noca (www.noca.com ) - precursor to stripe.com, braintree.com etc. The idea was to show the card logo bank from the BIN as the customer types the card number. Go for it. The payments User Experience needs improvement and glad you guys are doing it
