I wonder that whether the breadcrumb model can match to the steps of payment process like progress bar model. My design in the development process, I have delivered my files to developer who's doing backend for my design. If I asked him to change HTML DOM overall, I worry he will be frustrated if repeat their code.

I need the right answer to make sure what I did it's correct according to ux/ui design.

So you're asking if you can use the breadcrumb model/pattern for a payment/checkout process? It would be nice if you could show your designs or at least link to what you have in mind.

Strictly speaking, Breadcrumbs wouldn't be suitable to a checkout process (think Amazon checkout) since Breadcrumbs only display your history, not the full process. Unless you plan to adapt the breadcrumb pattern in a way this vital information will not be displayed at all.

One thing that might be beneficial is to add links to the steps of the payment process visualization at the top so a user can jump back to correct input, but note that I wrote "might" not "will". You probably have to see if more users exit the process or correct their payment details in a way that's hurting your business first.

  • Yes, that's right the breadcrumb pattern, I just attached the screen shot of my design which actually I did. Sorry for the link it's not available at the moment, It's still in stagging process.

  • In the design you showed I don't think that Breadcrumbs make sense. Breadcrumbs display history or site structure, neither of which is what you are describing here (a flow/process). This doesn't mean that the way it is displayed now is bad, just that I wouldn't follow the breadcrumb pattern/model.
