A wall of fields kills conversion. The Checkout Builder (Pro) turns checkout into a multi-step flow — add two or more steps and it renders Previous/Next navigation and a step indicator, with validation only on final submit so customers can move freely. Style it to match your brand in the Design panel. This recipe builds a multi-step checkout.

What you get
  • Checkout splits into friendly, themed steps.
  • A progress indicator shows where the customer is.
  • Validation runs on final submit — free movement between steps.
  • Works on both Classic and Block checkout.

Good to know

Notes & edge cases

One step = single-page checkout; two or more steps activates the multi-step UI.
The Order Info / Payment element is required and auto-re-added to the last step if removed.
Billing email, first/last name, and country are locked fields — reorder them, but they can’t be deleted.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Only when the customer submits the final step — they can move between steps freely without triggering validation, reducing friction.

No hard limit (minimum 1). In practice 2–4 steps works best for most flows.
