I encountered this feature gap while building a site for a customer (BBE). They wanted an application form with a payment option integrated into it. We couldn't build that, and we lost the project because it was an integral feature for their site.

What
The Forms block doesn't have payment integration. Having a credit card field would allow the creation of simple payment forms with a lot of flexibility.
How
The ability to add a credit card field to a form would be extremely useful. It would allow users to accept payments for services, create a custom donate form, create a custom product form, etc.
I would have used this feature on multiple builds. An example from today which I was unable to build was a simple donation form with specific text fields, with payment integration. This could be achieved with WooCommerce and the custom fields plugin, but this shouldn't be so complicated or expensive to setup.
We can look at Gravity Forms to see examples of how this would be useful.
Gravity Forms shows their credit card field here, and they have another page with examples of payment integrations here.
The benefit of having a credit card field connected to the form is the flexibility you have since you can add all the standard form fields. There would need to be a few extra fields, such as product, quantity, and total. This would enable you to sell multiple items from the same form, sell tickets to events, and more.
Being able to sell multiple products from the same form would benefit customers who have items to sell but aren’t ready to take the step to WooCommerce.
