Looks good, and I like the mistakes and solutions section. However, it's pretty much all covered by Stripe's open source jQuery.payment, which is also agnostic to your payment gateway. https://github.com/stripe/jquery.payment (Disclaimer - I built it.)

The presentation of Creditcard.js is great in terms of styling, and I'm sure the practical example goes a long way in selling something like this to non-developer decision makers. This is probably the market they are aiming for.

Personally, I would much rather use the MIT-licensed jQuery.payment by Stripe. I think $300 or even $149 is prohibitively expensive, and would prefer a script that is actively used and reviewed in public by many developers.

Thanks Alex!

My observation is that I wish the dots that are place holders in the box, turned into numbers as I typed them. When I went to type in a cc, the text box went blank, leaving me aesthetically with the same cc form as any one of them on the web.

One small consideration is that the American Express number format differs from other cards so the pattern of dots might change as you type.

$149 is a extremely high price-point for this with so many alternatives out there. I also don't see the value vs. the price. I've implemented http://jquerycreditcardvalidator.com/ with authorize.net with zero issues. Good luck selling this.

It's $299 (that's the beta-price). But I don't think it's expensive. I think it's quite correct. If a developer value his time, he should probably buy it. That is if he finds that it has advantages over the free alternatives.

It looks nice, but who would pay $300 for a single Javascript widget? Big companies might, sure, but there are plenty of good free implementations out there that have effectively the same features.

Technically, this is broken. 4-digit security codes exist, yet this form doesn't allow them.

I thought that was only for American Express? It allowed me to enter 4 numbers with an American Express card number. There wasn't 4 little placeholder dots, which was confusing.
