--- title: Split registration into two steps (Two Step SignUp) description: "The Two Step SignUp add-on for Ultimate Membership Pro splits the registration form of a paid Membership into two steps: personal details first, then checkout." url: "https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/two-step-signup/" updated: "2026-10-20" category: "Pro Add-ons" --- # Split registration into two steps (Two Step SignUp) 4 minBeginnerTwo Step SignUp add-onUltimate Membership Pro 14.2+ In Ultimate Membership Pro, the Two Step SignUp add-on splits the registration form of a paid Membership into two steps: the member fills in their personal details first, then moves on to checkout to choose how to pay. A shorter first screen feels easier to start, and the payment part stays out of sight until the member is ready for it. This guide switches the add-on on, explains its two settings and shows what your visitors see on each step. Before you start - The **Two Step SignUp** add-on is installed and active. It's a Pro add-on, included in the Full Package and Agency plans. See [Install a Pro add-on](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/install-pro-add-ons/). - Your license is active. See [Find and activate your license key](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/where-to-find-your-license-key/). - You have a paid Membership, for example Pro Monthly at $19/month, and a page with the registration form. See [Set up the registration form](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/set-up-the-registration-form/). ## Switch on Two Step SignUp 1. Go to Ultimate Membership Pro*›*Modules and open **Two Step SignUp** (in Members & Registration). 2. Switch on **Activate/Hold Two Step SignUp Integration**. 3. Optionally switch on **Show Steps label**, then click Save Changes. [![Two Step SignUp box with the Activate/Hold Two Step SignUp Integration switch (1) and the Show Steps label switch (2) both on](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-ao-two-step-01-settings-v2.png)](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-ao-two-step-01-settings-v2.png) The two switches of the add-on. 1Activate/Hold Two Step SignUp Integration Turns the add-on on. The registration form of every paid Membership then shows in two steps. Default: **Off** 2Show Steps label Writes the name of each step under its circle in the progress bar: Personal Details and Checkout. Without it the bar shows only the numbers 1 and 2. Default: **Off** ## What members see There's nothing else to set up. Open the registration page for a paid Membership as a visitor and the form is split in two. [![Registration form with a progress bar of two circles labeled Personal Details and Checkout, the first circle active, the personal fields below and a Next button](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-ao-two-step-02-step-1.png)](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-ao-two-step-02-step-1.png) Step 1: the progress bar, the registration fields and a Next button. On step 1 the member fills in the registration fields and clicks **Next**. The second circle of the progress bar lights up and the form switches to step 2. [![Second step of the registration form showing the payment method choice, the coupon box, the order summary and the Back and Complete buttons](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-ao-two-step-03-step-2.png)](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ump-ao-two-step-03-step-2.png) Step 2: the checkout section, with Back and Complete buttons. Step 1 · Personal Details The progress bar and every field of your registration form, followed by a Next button. Step 2 · Checkout What the form normally shows above the Register button: the payment method choice and its fields, the coupon box and the order summary. The Back button returns to step 1 with the entered details still in place. Complete Submits the registration form, the same as the Register button of a one-step form. Which registration forms are split - Only Memberships with a price. The registration form of a free Membership, such as Free Community, stays a single step. - The add-on works with every built-in registration form template. - The preview of the registration form in the admin shows the normal one-step form. ## Example: paid sign-up for the Coaching Club **Coaching Club**Pro Monthly, $19/month, registered in two steps. **Activate/Hold Two Step SignUp Integration** : On **Show Steps label** : On **Step 1** : Personal Details: username, email, name, password **Step 2** : Checkout: payment method, coupon box, order summary **Free Community** : Still one step, because it's free ## Learn more about Two Step SignUp - [Two Step SignUp add-on page](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/addon/two-step-signup/): what it does, at a glance. - [All Pro add-ons for Ultimate Membership Pro](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/pro-addons/). - [Ultimate Membership Pro plans](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/pricing/): Pro add-ons come with the Full Package and Agency plans. - [How web forms work (MDN)](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_development/Extensions/Forms). ## Troubleshooting Why does the registration form still show a single step? The add-on only splits the form of a paid Membership. Check that Activate/Hold Two Step SignUp Integration is on and saved, and that the form you opened is for a Membership with a price, such as Pro Monthly. Free Memberships and the admin preview show the standard form. Why does the progress bar show only the numbers 1 and 2? Show Steps label is off. Switch it on and click Save Changes to show the names Personal Details and Checkout under the circles. Can I add more than two steps? No. The add-on always splits the form into the same two steps: Personal Details and Checkout. How do I split the registration form into steps in Ultimate Membership Pro? Install the Two Step SignUp add-on, then switch on Activate/Hold Two Step SignUp Integration under Ultimate Membership Pro › Modules › Two Step SignUp and save. Registration for paid Memberships then runs in two steps. ## What's next [**Set up the registration form**Templates, fields and messages.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/set-up-the-registration-form/)[**Let members choose a payment method**What step 2 offers.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/how-to-set-a-multi-payments-option/)[**Create coupon codes**The coupon box on step 2.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/how-to-set-a-coupon-code/)[**Redirect members after registration**Where members land after Complete.](https://ultimatemembershippro.com/docs/register-redirects/)
