What is the Multi-Step Skin?
The Multi-Step Skin (also called “Step Skin”) is a specialized template for WP Configurator Pro that breaks down product customization into sequential stages.
Instead of showing all options at once, Multi-Step guides the user through a series of steps, each focusing on one set of choices. It uses a top navigation bar (breadcrumb / progress indicator) to show the user where they are and what remains.
This structured flow helps reduce overwhelm, enhance clarity, and improve completion rates for complex configurable products.
