It's just a few steps to add multi-step forms to Squarespace and boost conversions by making big forms feel bite-sized.
Long forms are overwhelming. People see too many fields at once, and boom - they bail. But break that same form into smaller steps with clean progress indicators, and suddenly it feels manageable, even fun.
That’s why multi-step forms are a must-have for service businesses, applications, onboarding, and lead magnets.
Here’s the catch: Squarespace’s built-in form builder doesn’t support true multi-step functionality out of the box. But with the right workaround, you’ll be splitting forms like a pro-no plugins required.
Here’s how to add multi-step forms to Squarespace:
1. Create Each Step as a Section
Use different form blocks on separate sections of the same page (or nested pages) to simulate steps.
2. Add Navigation Buttons
At the end of each section, insert a Button Block labeled “Next” or “Continue” that links to an anchor or the next step/page.
3. Use Anchor Links for Seamless Scroll
Assign anchor IDs to each section (e.g., #step2) and link buttons to them for a smooth multi-step experience.
4. Add Progress Indicators
Use simple text or image blocks to show “Step 1 of 3” or progress bars to guide users visually.
5. Collect All Submissions Cohesively
Use a tool like Zapier or Google Sheets to sync each step’s data into one source if you need centralized results.
Conclusion: Better Forms, More Leads
Adding multi-step forms to Squarespace isn’t about flashy tricks, it’s about making your site friendlier, faster, and more focused on your users’ experience.
When you guide someone through a few clear steps instead of dumping everything at once, you reduce overwhelm and increase completion rates.
Now, your forms aren’t just functional -they’re strategic.
And the best part? You did it all without leaving Squarespace.
