Agree on all points there - slick service, award winning, very well thought out and designed. They even tout Typeform on their website for payment purposes. But to me personally (and my thesis is, to most folks), it does not "appear" secure.

The beef is not technical, its just appearances. Using Typeform to get Credit Card information is like casting Kevin Spacey in Denzel's place in John Q. Both great actors. Spacey might even integrate with over 500+ apps soon. But who would you trust with your kid?

The way typeform has been employed here does not give the impression of security. In fact, the current impression is that your credit card numbers are been given the same level of security as your 10 was given when you answered "How would you rate our Pizza on a scale of 1 to 10?" at your local Italian joints website.

And that little sign "Secured by Stripe" is like displaying a footnote, in each scene of the Spacey version of John Q, saying "Trust this guy".
