IYO Best Credit Card Join Page / Check out Process - GoFuckYourself.com

cfU · 02-06-2014, 11:25 AM

In your opinion what do you think is a great credit card / gateway join, or checkout page? Do you have examples?

I am fully aware if you have something a surfer/nonmember is set on obtaining they will pay for it no matter what a form looks like. What I am curious of, is if you have ever been to a credit card form that has made you think - this was simple or that is a great layout. Whether it was design and aesthetics, functionality or simplicity of the process...

Example, I ordered this awhile back: https://onlycoin.com/ (order button in top right corner)

The order process is merely a modal popup, simple and easy. They are using Stripe for processing so it's a bit different in their scenario. Our industry being high risk - there are PCI compliance factors to deal with. Do you feel a sites credit card page should continue the sites branding or should it distant itself?

Responsive layouts will obviously be key factors now - but are there other details that you like or makes your experience more delightful before submitting your card?

There seems to be two major "philosophies" when it comes to Join pages. (I assume you are referring to pages you post yourself or do you mean 3rd party forms, which you have less control over?)

Lots of text (sales pitch) vs. little text. I go with little text, lots of pictures, and few join options. These are on the pages I myself host:

Very simple and clean, with unique buttons.

When it comes to forms hosted elsewhere (like with CCBill) I use custom forms I designed myself and A-B tested.

I am mean both and all in general. Setting aside prejudices (CCBill scrub, etc.. )

Out of all the IPSP's who do you think has the best stock join form and why?
Programs processing through gateways on their own merchant accounts.. besides your own .. have you seen a join page that has wowed you? Not prejoin but actual credit card input page.

We encourage our merchants to test multiple pages both in our direct mode and remote mode (hosting their own form or having us do it). Site dependent, results vary but the majority of our merchants chose to use Direct mode for ultimate flexibility.

@Mitch, have you ever analyzed stats with somebody who A-B tested direct vs. remote join pages? If so, have there been common approaches you have seen on remote pages that have made you rethink your standard pages?
