The problem
The checkout form uses placeholder-only labels: the field's purpose is shown as grey text inside the input, and disappears the moment the buyer starts typing.
Why it matters
Placeholder-only labels violate WCAG accessibility, but they also just cost sales. A buyer who types a wrong value, then forgets what the field was for, has to erase everything to see the label again. Frustration compounds.
What to do
Add persistent bold labels (e.g., 'Email', 'First name', 'Address', 'Card number') above each input field similar to the 'Discount code' pattern implied by section headers 'Contact' and 'Delivery', so users retain context after typing; this is especially critical for the unlabeled card number, expiry, and CVC fields in the Credit card section.
