Suggestion: I found the option "Send to a bitcoin address" to be confusing. I would have expected it to say "Send from a bitcoin address."
Upon further reflection, it's clear why I expected that.
First, when a user goes through a typical online checkout/payment, they are not concerned about where the money is going to, they are concerned about where it is coming from, i.e., putting their credit card info in.
Second, the prior option is "Send using my coinbase account," which reinforces what I was talking about in the other point I just made. For the sake of consistency, both options should be about sending from somewhere, not sending to somewhere.
An alternative way to do this would be having the first option say "Send using Coinbase" and the second option be "Send using the Bitcoin network," or something to that effect.
Ok good feedback. While technically it is correct that you are sending to a single bitcoin address (your payment can actually come from multiple bitcoin addresses) I agree it's confusing and the the distinction isn't important to more users.
