this is great but I like to use https://www.paymentiframe.com/

the form resembles a credit card.

The iframe lets you drop it into your app.

Some card schemes support PANs longer than 16 digits.

Yeah; if a credit card form doesn't let the user type more than 16 digits there is something seriously wrong with the form ;P.

I'm going to be adding support for credit cards that aren't 15 or 16 digits later on. I stuck with 15 and 16 digits for now because it covers 90% of the use cases.

Turn away 10% of customers just at the moment they want to pay you, in order to boost conversion rate of the remaining 90% by 1%. This makes no sense.

My opinion is, stick with:

  <input type="text">
I was on Hipmunk last week trying to book a hotel room, and I couldn't buy because the drop-down to select expiration date was overly engineered to the point it no longer triggered the spinner UI. Powered by Expedia! (iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.2)
