Checkout Flow

Multi-step checkout process

What it solves

A Checkout Flow pattern helps teams create a reliable way to guide shoppers from cart review to confirmed payment with as little friction as possible while preserving trust. It is most useful when teams need physical goods purchase. Compared with adjacent patterns, this pattern should reduce friction without hiding the state, rules, or recovery paths people need to keep moving.

When to use

• Physical goods purchase
• Digital checkout and subscriptions
