TL;DR
Confused users don’t convert, and that’s where stepper UI shines. This article dives into 30+ real-world examples of stepper designs (from onboarding to checkout flows) to show how breaking processes into clear steps boosts usability and completion rates. Whether you're designing for SaaS or mobile apps, you’ll find practical patterns and tips to make your multi-step flows intuitive, effective, and actually enjoyable.
One of the fastest ways to make your users bounce? Confuse them about what happens next.
That’s why stepper UI matters and why we at Eleken care. As a design agency focused on SaaS, we understand very well how good stepper flows can drive conversions… and how bad ones can wreck onboarding.
So, let’s dig into real-life stepper UI design examples to help you design flows your users will actually want to complete.
What is a stepper in UI design?
A stepper UI breaks a process into bite-sized steps. Instead of throwing a 10-field form at you all at once, it says: “Hey, let’s do this one step at a time.”
You’ve seen them in sign-up flows, product setup, checkout carts, and anywhere UX teams want to make complex things feel doable. They’re especially common in SaaS where user onboarding can cause user drop-off.
Good steppers do two things really well:
- They show you where you are.
- They show you what’s coming.
And giving users that sense of control? That’s how you get them to stick around.
Next, let’s move to steppers UI examples for inspiration. Each example is a real product interface that nails (or at least tries to nail) the stepper UX. For easier analysis, we’ve split them into five categories:
- Horizontal steppers
- Vertical steppers
- Steppers with progress bars
- Mobile steppers
- Wizard steppers
Let’s start!
Horizontal stepper UI examples
Steppers laid out from left to right, guiding users through tasks in a clear, linear path. Ideal for multi-step processes with a predictable order, such as checkout flows or setup wizards.
1. Gotechiez’s custom test creation

Gotechiez is a recruitment platform that lets hiring teams build and assign coding or knowledge-based assessments. As well, they are one of Eleken's clients who requested to bring their idea to life. Their original test setup was a bulky, intimidating form that caused confusion, especially among first-time users.
To solve this, we introduced a structured 4-step stepper UX that breaks down test creation into clear stages, making the process easier, faster, and more error-proof for recruiters.
Why this stepper works well
- Horizontal wizard stepper: All steps (Type, Details, Question, Review) are visible and easy to follow.
- Clean layout with live preview: Helps users understand how their test will appear to candidates.
- Modular structure: Each screen focuses on one task (e.g., language, tags, code editor).
- Built-in guidance: Inline tooltips and help text reduce guesswork.

3. Contra’s service creation stepper

This stepper guides freelancers through setting up a service offering, covering everything from project overview to pricing and visuals.
Why this stepper works well
- Top-aligned progress tracker: A horizontal progress bar with step names and checkmarks gives users full visibility into where they are and what’s next.
- Linear but flexible: Users can go back and forth easily with clearly placed “Back” and “Next” buttons, plus a “Save & exit” option for pausing.
- Step-specific content blocks: Each step only shows what’s relevant, like pricing fields here, keeping the UI focused and tidy.
- Calm visual tone: Neutral colors and soft spacing help reduce form fatigue, especially for a task that can take several minutes.
Anything to improve?
- The “Make available for Quick Hire?” toggle UX could use a clearer explanation on how it affects visibility or bookings.
4. Tripadvisor’s booking flow

This stepper guides users through entering contact details, activity info, and payment to complete a tour booking.
Why this stepper works well
- Numbered progress bar: Clearly shows three steps with labels.
- Highlights current and past steps: Step 1 is filled, Step 2 is bold, Step 3 is grayed out.
Linear and clear: Users know exactly where they are and what’s next.
Anything to improve?
Nothing critical here.
5. Tailscale’s upgrade plan flow

This stepper guides users through comparing plans, entering billing details, and adding payment info.
Why this stepper works well
- Numbered top bar: Each step is labeled and clearly structured in a 3-step flow.
- Active step is highlighted: Step 2 (“Billing details”) uses a bold style and blue underline.
- Calm layout: Lots of white space keeps attention on the step.
Anything to improve?
- No confirmation of step completion: Users don’t get feedback on which steps are “done.” Adding subtle indicators (like checkmarks) would increase confidence.
- Back link isn’t part of the stepper: The “Back to billing” link is detached and placed above the title, rather than integrated into the stepper, this may affect discoverability.
- Accessibility could be improved: The use of color alone to show the active step (blue underline) may not be sufficient for colorblind users.
6. Unity’s free trial signup flow

This stepper guides users through ordering Unity Pro seats with a trial offer, followed by info, payment, and confirmation.
Why this stepper works well
- Numbered top bar: Clear layout shows all four steps and current location.
- Visual clarity: Step 1 is bold and filled, next steps are outlined with icons.
- Easy scan of process: Users see what’s ahead without surprises.
Anything to improve?
- No step skipping: Steps aren’t clickable, so jumping back/forth isn’t possible.
7. Postman’s purchase flow

This stepper guides users through selecting a subscription plan, resources, billing, and payment.
Why this stepper works well
- Horizontal stepper with labels: All four stages are clearly visible at the top.
- Highlights current step: Uses a color dot and bold label to mark progress.

Anything to improve?
- Steps are not clickable: Users can’t jump between steps easily.
8. Urban Outfitters’ checkout flow

This stepper guides users through the final stages of checkout: shipping, delivery, and payment.
Why this stepper works well
- Clear linear structure: Horizontal stepper with distinct stages helps users know exactly where they are.
- Bold current-step marker: The filled circle with label (“Delivery”) is unmissable.
Easy overview: Users can quickly scan what’s done, what’s next.
Anything to improve?
- Steps aren’t clickable: You can’t jump back unless you spot the small “Change” link.
Vertical stepper UI
Steppers arranged top to bottom, often paired with sidebar navigation. Great for onboarding flows or checklist-style tasks where users benefit from seeing all steps at once.
9. Process Place’s onboarding checklist

Designed by Eleken for a workflow management app Process place, this stepper guides new users through onboarding via a playful, task-based checklist designed to teach HR teams how to kick off new hires effectively.
Why this stepper works well
- Vertical checklist format: Steps are shown in a classic to-do layout, which taps into users’ desire to complete tasks.
- Clear visual progress: Checkmarks and step numbers give a strong sense of advancement.
- Fun and engaging UI: The final step uses humor (clapping sheep image) to create a memorable moment.
Anything to improve?
- No skip/reset option inside the checklist view: Helpful for users who want to restart or revisit steps.
10. Uniswap’s create-a-position stepper
.png)
This horizontal stepper breaks down the process of setting up a new liquidity position into clear, linear steps: selecting a token pair, setting a price range, and entering deposit amounts.
Why this stepper works well
- Sidebar step indicator: A persistent side panel shows all steps and highlights the current one, reducing ambiguity and keeping users oriented.

Anything to improve?
- Nothing critical here
Progress stepper UI
Focuses on visualizing user progress, often with bars, dots, or labeled indicators. These steppers keep users motivated and informed without overwhelming them with full step content.
11. MyInterview’s candidate interview flow
.png)
This stepper was designed by Eleken for a video interviewing software. It walks job candidates through a series of questions, inputs, and preferences in a structured, responsive flow.
Over 90% of candidates were dropping off during the interview process due to poor UX. So, we created a step-by-step interface, which eventually improved task completion and significantly reduced drop-offs.
Why this stepper works well
- Thin top progress bar: Visually simple but communicates steady progress.
- One question per screen: Keeps focus high and interaction lightweight.
- Consistent navigation: "Back" and "Next" placement reinforces control and predictability.
Anything to improve?
- No visible step labels: Users don’t know how many steps are left or what’s coming next.
12. Whatnot’s multi-step product adding flow
.png)
This stepper guides sellers through the process of adding a single product to their live show catalog. It includes uploading photos, setting a title and price, and choosing between auction or buy-it-now formats.
Why this stepper works well
- Clear visual progress: The linear progress bar at the bottom, paired with the step counter, keeps users oriented.
- Minimal cognitive load per step: Each screen asks for just one type of input or decision, avoiding overwhelm.
- Conversational, helpful microcopy: The tone feels friendly and supportive rather than robotic.
- Visually engaging: The iconography adds warmth and reinforces each message without clutter.
Anything to improve?
Nothing critical here. But a small detail:
- The visual styling of tabs UX is very subtle. Users with poor contrast sensitivity or on bright screens might miss the distinction.
- It maybe not that intuitive to understand how to go one step back.
13. Monarch’s financial goals creation stepper
.png)
This design is quite similar in UI to the previous one, but for web experience. The flow lets users define and prioritize their financial goals.
Why this stepper works well
- Full-width, screen-by-screen flow: Each step occupies the entire screen, minimizing distractions and helping users stay focused on a single action.
- Sticky header for progress: A persistent header displays the current step title, anchoring users and reducing uncertainty.
- Bottom-anchored navigation: “Back” and “Next” buttons are fixed at the bottom – easy to reach, especially on mobile.
- Paced, linear experience: The flow feels natural and calm, matching the emotional tone of financial planning.
Anything to improve?
- The step count or total number of steps isn’t visible, which could make users wonder how much is left.
14. Blinkist’s onboarding stepper UI
.png)
Blinkist uses a clean, lightweight stepper design to guide users through onboarding—this screen shows step 2 of 4, where users select interest categories.

19. Grab’s linear goal-tracking stepper
.png)
This is a progress-based stepper guiding users through a multi-step challenge tied to spending behavior, with a clear visual path toward a reward.
Why this stepper works well
- Vertical milestone layout: Progress is mapped top-to-bottom, mimicking a journey and giving users a sense of movement.
- Progress bars per step: Each goal includes its own tracker, letting users see how close they are to finishing.
- Encouraging feedback: Phrases like “Keep it up. You’re doing great!” reinforce motivation, not just navigation.
- Gamified structure: The stepper blends UI and game mechanics with a visible reward and countdown (e.g., “23 days left”).
Anything to improve?
- This isn’t a traditional form-based stepper, so it lacks navigation controls or the ability to move between steps.
20. Grab’s instructional stepper for in-store payments
.png)
This screen design walks users through the process of paying merchants using GrabPay. Though it's not a form-based stepper, it’s a task-based linear flow, presented as a visual checklist.
Why this stepper works well
- Clear sequential structure: Each step is numbered and stacked vertically, following a logical left-to-right then down flow, which matches natural reading patterns.
- Illustrative support: Soft vector graphics make the actions easier to visualize without cluttering the space.
- Microcopy guides action: Each step contains a bolded title and short helper text, which clarifies the user’s responsibility without overloading them.
- Consistent layout: Uniform formatting ensures the user quickly learns how to parse the visual pattern.
Anything to improve?
- Hierarchy of information could be sharper: The heading “How to Pay Merchants” and step titles are very similar in size and weight, which could slightly impact scanning speed.
- Could benefit from progress feedback: Since this is clearly multi-step, a small progress bar or visual indicator (like “1 of 3”) might reduce uncertainty for first-time users.
21. Hims' step-by-step medical profile onboarding
.png)
This screen is part of a multi-step flow where users input their medical information in a structured and guided way.
Why this stepper works well
- Sequential clarity: Numbered and labeled steps ("History", "Lifestyle", "Contact") help users understand what’s coming next.
- Progressive disclosure: Only one topic is introduced at a time, which prevents overwhelming users with too many questions upfront.
- Clear visual indicator: A horizontal progress bar at the top and numbered vertical step markers in the center give dual cues about the journey’s structure.
Anything to improve?
- Step preview might be subtle for some users: Although the visual clarity is good, users with low vision or in bright light might struggle with the soft gray step indicators.
- Potential for minor interaction fatigue: If every step requires a long form design or explanation, spacing them into too many screens might introduce unnecessary friction without inline validation.
22. Amazon’s customer service resolution stepper
.png)

32. Involi’s drone flight creation wizard
.png)
Involi, a drone management platform, needed a better way for operators to create and book flights. The original setup involved a long, overloaded form that confused users and slowed down operations. When Involi approached Eleken, even their internal team wasn’t sure which exact fields would be needed in the final form.
Our solution? A flexible 3-step wizard that simplifies flight creation and allows the product to evolve as requirements become clearer.
Why this stepper works well
- 3-step wizard: Breaks a dense workflow into digestible parts.
- Inline validation: Each step checks required inputs before letting users continue.
- Light, clean layout: Plenty of white space keeps focus on the form.
- Adaptive design: Built flexibly to support future changes in required input fields.
Anything to improve?
- No summary view: Users can’t preview all input before final submission.
That’s it, we’ve come through 32 stepper examples, which we hope will serve you as a solid inspiration base. However, besides looking for effective samples, it’s just as important to know when a stepper design actually makes sense.
When to use a stepper UX?
Like any design pattern, stepper can guide users smoothly through complex tasks, or, if misused, it can slow them down and add unnecessary friction. The key is context. Here's how to tell when a stepper is the right choice:
1. Use it for linear, structured processes
- Ideal for tasks with a clear beginning, middle, and end, like checkout, onboarding, or tax filing.
- Works best when users must complete each step in order.
Avoid steppers for tasks where users might need to jump around or complete things out of order.
2. Use it when users benefit from knowing what’s next
- Great when users need a sense of direction or reassurance about what comes next.
- Show step names, numbers, or a visual bar to track progress.
Avoid hiding steps or using unlabeled indicators, confused users are likely to abandon the process.
3. Use it when the process is long or mentally taxing
- Steppers break complex tasks into smaller, digestible chunks, that’s why they’re great for form-heavy or high-stakes flows.
Avoid them for ultra-simple tasks (a stepper just adds unnecessary clicks).
4. Use it when you can support users throughout
- Helpful if you can give users the option to pause, save progress, and return later.
- Show inline error messages and allow step revisiting.
Avoid rigid steppers that block users unless everything is perfect, especially without context or feedback.
5. Don’t use a stepper just because it looks organized
Consider alternatives like cards, tabs, or accordions for flexible flows.
A stepper UI isn’t always better; it’s just one of many tools. Use it only when the task truly benefits from structure and sequencing.
That’s a wrap on our deep dive into stepper UIs. We’ve looked at dozens of real-world examples, broken down what works (and what doesn’t), and shared practical advice on when to use steppers, and how to use them well.
