Credit Card Expiration Date auto filled in form

[silverbackgorilla]

I just setup and tested the new shopping cart for credit card payments. I really like how it looks and how simple it is.



However, there is one small change that I think would help.



I did a test transaction and I got an error. I went back and realized that I didn't change the credit card expiration date. Since this is auto filled out, it allows the buyer to continue without entering anything. If someone is in a hurry they may not notice this because all of the blanks are filled in. After getting an error they could turn away. For my case, the default month was correct but the year was off so it didn't seem to stand right out.



For the expiration date, I suggest that it is blank and nothing is auto selected on the dropdown by default. This would force the user to make a selection before the transaction can be processed.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll pass that along to Development and at least add it to the wishlist if it can't be accomplished right away. :^)

Has anyone looked into this?



Also, maybe it would be beneficial to have all of the drop down menus items blank by default. This would force the buyer to make a choice for all of the items. This would prevent someone from accidentally using the default selection and getting the gateway declined error.



Other than this, the credit card form is great and has been working very well for me.



Thanks, Damon

Development informs me they are rolling this suggestion in with some other updates they need to make to our secure checkout page, so that should be appearing soon.

Great, thank you.

This update is now live; the expiration date fields in our secure checkout page for card-based payments will now default to blank values.
