Please specify a value which would be reasonable to see in a payment or checkout form. The format is Month/Year to match the global credit card expiration date format. The localized value is suggested to contain 2 characters for month and 2 characters for year. In CJK languages single characters are acceptable for month and year e.g. 月 and 年. Month and year should be separated by a forward slash (/) because after the user begins typing the date, the app will automatically separate them with a slash."
