FYI: 4147 2011 1111 1111 triggers the special Chase Sapphire layout (number is on the back of the card, front just has your name + the Chase Sapphire (Preferred)).

I actually find the lack of any label on the CVV field a bit confusing, but maybe that's just me.

On my iPad the auto progression doesn't work properly and the keyboard is hidden after each field. You have to tap all over the credit card.

I gave up after the fourth extraneous tap.

So I guess "why aren't all credit card forms like this" is because people use iPads.

(In all seriousness, great idea but disappointing first impression.)

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?

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.

I wonder how important it is that the name and expiration date match up exactly where they do on the actual credit card. I think people are able to at least figure out where the name and expiration date on their CC is.

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…

A good example of data stunting a product.

This reminds me of an habit I developed: I usually input the credit card number last. I usually start selecting the card issuer, then fill out my name, billing address, expiry date and CVV.

That's really good feedback. I actually hadn't tested on iPad, believe it or not -- I created a ticket on it!

It's a bit gimmicky but I think the subconscious (or even conscious) association people make with the card they're holding in their hand makes it less prone to mistakes and a bit easier to use. I like it.
