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 small persistent labels (e.g. 'First name', 'Street', 'Building number', 'Postal code', 'City', 'Phone', 'Card number', 'Expiration date', 'Security code') above each input in the Delivery and Payment sections, similar to how 'Country/Region' already has a label above its dropdown, so users don't lose context after typing.
