Customer View

 The entire order process begin and ends on the merchant's website.
The customer enters their credit card details directly on to a page on the merchants site.
The billing address is part of the credit card verification process, and so it is shown above the card details where it can easily be edited.
Depending on your template and the layout you choose you may wish to display the shopping cart totals next to the card details.

Credit Card Entry Form


Automatic Formatting of Credit Card Numbers

 Spaces are automatically added to the credit card number as the user types them in.
16-digit cards such as VISA, MasterCard, Discover have spaces inserted every 4th digit while 15-digit AMEX cards are auto formatted a 4-6-5 pattern.
This makes the number on the order form match exactly what the user see on their card.
Automatically formatting the numbers in this manner has been shown to reduce card validation errors and increase conversion rates.

Correctly Formated Credit Card Number
 Automatic Detection of the Type of Credit Card

 PayPal Pro can work out the type of  a credit card from its first digits, which are unique to each card. The plugin uses these to display the correct logo for the type of card used. The customer does not need to enter which type of card they are using, helping speed up the ordering process. In the example below, a Visa Card has been detected.
