Start developing with VPDS
Learn how to start developing with the Visa Product Design System using this step-by-step guide for ease and efficiency.
Browser Support
Our design system supports the latest versions of all major evergreen browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We do not support legacy or non-evergreen browsers.
Why only evergreen browsers?
- Security: Evergreen browsers receive regular security updates, helping protect users and their data.
- Consistency: We use modern HTML and CSS features that are consistently supported across evergreen browsers, ensuring a reliable user experience.
- Performance: By focusing on up-to-date browsers, we can take advantage of the latest web standards for optimal performance.
- Maintainability: Supporting only evergreen browsers allows us to keep our codebase clean and efficient, without the need for legacy workarounds.
For the best experience, please use the latest version of your preferred browser.
