Show Them Where They Are

Checkout feels longer when people don’t know how much is left.

Three steps can feel like ten if the page gives no sense of progress.

That’s why a simple progress indicator matters.

Cart. Details. Payment. Review. Whatever your flow is, show it.

People relax when they can see the path.

They stop wondering if another form is about to appear. They stop guessing how far the finish line is.

And once the end feels visible, completing the purchase feels lighter.

This is not decoration. It’s reassurance.

If your checkout has stages, label them. If a step is done, mark it. If one remains, make that obvious too.

Progress is not just movement. It’s confidence.
