If you press tab, it at least cycles through all of the input boxes on the front side in an appropriate manner, and you could probably design it to flip over on the next tab press. I'm fairly certain that would make it work with screen readers (but not positive).

It doesn't tab between the input boxes or even show the boxes until it's detected the card type based on first four digits. On initial load you get an input box with "XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX" and nothing else. It does not look like an average credit card form and a lot of people will be confused "where do I put in my name" when they first see it.

I don't know. The current convention is always to enter the credit card number first, then the name later (usually as part of the billing address). Once you start entering your card, the rest of the information is explained nicely.

Yeah I really could have done with the tab order being a bit better. And flipping the card when tabbing would definitely help.

Those of us familiar with data entry get really used to tabbing.

It doesn't tell you if you go wrong either.

I surprisingly liked the idea and execution though (putting the other issues aside.)
