Multistep forms: how to simplify filling and increase conversion

Many companies face the same problem: users start filling out a form, but drop it in the middle. This is especially true for long questionnaires with dozens of fields that are visually tiring and seem "too complicated."

There is a simple solution - to split the form into several logical steps. This is how multistep forms appear, where the user goes through the process in stages.: step by step, without overloading.

This approach makes the interface easy and understandable, and increases the chance that a person will reach the end and submit a request.

QForm allows you to create multistep forms with an intuitive interface, as well as flexibly configure each stage without code in just a few minutes.

Why multistep forms work better

1. Less psychological pressure

When a person sees a huge full-screen shape, they subconsciously think, "Too long, I won't." Dividing into steps solves this problem, leaving only a few simple questions on each screen.

2. Gradual engagement

The first steps can be made as easy as possible, for example, name and email. By filling them out, the user is already involved and is more likely to reach the end.

3. Convenient structure

The multistep form allows you to logically group information.:

• Step 1 - contacts,
• Step 2 - Request details,
• Step 3 is confirmation.

This eliminates the chaos and helps the user not to get confused.

4. Conversion growth

According to UX research, forms divided into 2-4 steps increase conversion by 20-40%. Users are more likely to interact with short screens than with a single long canvas.

Tips for creating effective multistep forms

• Start with a simple one. The first step should be as easy as possible, this is the "entrance barrier".
• Minimize the number of fields. Each step is no more than 4-5 questions.
• Use hints and input masks. This reduces errors and speeds up filling.
• Show the progress. People love to see that they're almost done.
• Test the texts and the order of the steps. Sometimes rearranging fields can increase the conversion rate.
• Don't forget about the CTA. At the end, add a clear message: "Send an application", "Get advice", "Complete registration".
