# Journey Step Types

### **Overview**

Steps represent the “pages” that a customer goes through in the e-Commerce experience or one of the in-app portal experiences.

These steps can include: Sign Up, Category, Confirmation and Details, Payment Details, Subscription Terms, Cancellation, Thank You, Account Information, and Content.

### Step Types 

#### Sign Up

This step is used to gather sign up information from the customer in the e-Commerce flow.

***

#### Category

This step is used to bring the categories and products into the e-Commerce flow or in-app. 

Category Step Fields

| Category        | This field pulls in the categories set up in the journey. Selecting one will take the products from the category and display them on a product page. If there is a need to display more than one category clicking and dragging the cursor over multiple categories will select them |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Show Summary    | Clicking this checkbox will add the description from your products on the step.                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| Take Full Width | Selecting this enables the text to take up the full width of the container. This is most useful when the summary is not selected to fill empty space.                                                                                                                                |
