How to build a multi-step registration flow in Bubble

A multi‑step registration flow in Bubble is best built by putting each step inside its own Group on the same page and showing/hiding them as the user progresses. You store partial data either in custom states or directly on the Current User, then create the final account with Bubble’s built‑in Sign the user up action.

Core Structure

Create one page (for example “registration”) and place several Groups on it: Group Step 1, Group Step 2, Group Step 3. Each group contains the inputs for that step. Keep all groups hidden on page load except Step 1.

• Next button → hides current group, shows next group.
• Back button → hides current group, shows previous group.
• Store user’s answers using custom states or saving directly to Current User (safe as long as privacy rules protect it).

How to Save Data

If you want to create the user at the end, store the step answers in custom states (temporary values). If you want to save as they go, write to Current User fields. Both approaches are valid.

• Use custom state on the page, like Page Registration → state\_firstname (text).
• Or save directly using Make changes to current user.

Final Account Creation

On the final step’s Submit button, run a workflow that signs the user up and stores all collected values into their database record.

// Workflow example for final Submit button
Sign the user up
    Email = Input Email's value
    Password = Input Password's value

Make changes to Current User
    First name = Page Registration's state_firstname
    Age = Page Registration's state_age

Extra Practical Tips

• Use a progress bar by binding its value to a custom state like current\_step.
• Keep each step simple—few inputs per group improves completion.
• If using Privacy Rules, ensure “Current User” can write their own fields.
