This lesson is part of How To · All levels

Summary

A checkout form is a form containing a billing address, delivery address, and payment method. Forms like this are usually divided into several sections with a fieldset to avoid confusion. Order summaries on the other hand help users check the total before completing the transaction.

Key points

Fieldsets and legends group fields into logical parts.
The autocomplete attribute speeds up the filing of payment addresses and data.
The transaction form must be sent via HTTPS using the POST method.
Order summaries help users verify items and totals.
Sensitive card data should not be stored alone; use a trusted payment provider.
