A mix of bugs and suggestions:
- It is possible for the security code and card number fields to be green, indicating they have been filled out correctly, using a 3-digit security code for an American Express card number or a 4-digit security code for any other card number.
- The security code help probably should not display the American Express case when no card type has been identified.
- The security code field should display 4 dots when American Express is detected.
- The card type detection is so faint as to be invisible to inattentive users or people with awful displays.
- Drop-down for expiration is a disaster and a huge regression from the status quo.
I played with the checkout form some and discovered these additional issues:
- Email validation is wrong, valid emails are flagged as incorrect.
- At almost all reasonable browser widths, the right 2/5 or so of the security code tip is cut off, rendering it useless.
- After clicking "Purchase License" without completely filling out the form, the button permanently changes to "Please Correct Errors Above." Correcting the errors will not allow you to actually purchase a license. You will need to refresh and enter all your data again.
- You can actually successfully submit the form using a Visa with a 4-digit security code or an American Express with a 3-digit security code. It was declined :(
- "The 'exp_month' parameter should be an integer (instead, is MM)." is not a very usable way of phrasing this error.
I would not buy $149 closed-source beta software for making my purchase form more usable from people with such an unusable purchase form.
- xixixao 13y agoAnother bug: Click on security code question mark, then change type of the card - two "cards" appear for a second on the right than the old one disappears.
- yalooze 13y agoGreat list. Can you elaborate on "Drop-down for expiration is a disaster and a huge regression from the status quo."? Are you saying the norm is to have it typed?
- lancewiggs 13y agoFor me: yes, absolutely, it's much much faster and less painful to type the four numerics than to click on drop downs.
- jarnix 13y agoyou don't have to click for select boxes... just use tab and type the numbers...
- anonymoushn 13y agoYes, I prefer to have it typed. Credit card forms vary a lot, but the ones that are shaped like credit cards have usually just have 2 text fields with a slash in between.
