Some usability things I noticed on the Drop-in UI Sample Page: (https://www.braintreepayments.com/features/drop-in)

It appears that the PayPal is a header, rather than a button, it has no call to action. Separating the credit card form from the button and giving it a clear header (Like: "Pay With Credit Card") would help indicate the choice of PayPal or Credit Card.

Also, I'm not sure if it's intentional, but the credit card form doesn't actually do anything. Completing the form with a test credit card gives no follow-up call to action. This could be confusing to people wanting to see a "working" integration.

I'm one of the developers who works on v.zero. We're planning on constantly improving the drop-in UI based on feedback and data. Currently we allow you to embed the form shown in your own form. It's expected you would include your own call to action that would be more contextual for the user.

On native mobile we,ve taken the approach to render the call to action for you and allow you to configure the text. Is that something you would find useful on web as well? It's definitely something we've debated internally.

I like that I've got the ability to control the display, I'm looking forward to testing the integration. But, for some people, providing the full look and feel might fit better with the "drop-in" notion.
