First
well pushing up this again
This has gotten worse. Now when adding the Credit Card to stripe - it says “Add ITEM” instead of saying something like “check if credit card data is correct” or similar. Previously this was only Add I think. Many many of my users entered there credit card data - and then thought they paid already!
Those users will not click on submit form (or however you call it - as in the EU you have to make clear the “submit form” button is clearly labelled like “Pay Now” ) because they are afraid of being charged twice. Sale in that case usually lost forever.
Second
As nearly anyone will be liable to pay VAT in EU, Australia and Japan (at least if you are from an OECD country and not breaking OECD Tax treaties/laws), address (or at least country) is needed. However the address fields only pop up after the credit card has been entered. The address fields should really appear right from the start (and it should be configurable which ones to display and ask for - as taking them out selectively will break the checkout.
