To be counted as converted, visitors need to complete all the steps you've defined in your funnel, in the correct order. Plausible offers two funnel types that differ in how strictly that order is enforced.

**Sequential funnel (default):** Visitors must complete the steps in order, but they can visit other pages or trigger other events in between. This is the more flexible option and suits most use cases.

Funnels also work across your main domain and its subdomains ([see more](subdomain-hostname-filter.md)), and you don't need to worry about visitors briefly leaving your site to complete actions on external services like Stripe's payment page or other third-party gateways. Plausible treats the returning visit as part of the same session, so your funnel will accurately track the full visitor journey.

* Define your funnel by adding a set of specific steps that you expect a visitor to take before a conversion, a purchase or a sign up. These steps consist of [pageviews goals](pageview-goals.md) and [custom events](custom-event-goals.md). You need to add a minimum of 2 steps and a maximum of 8 steps to create a funnel.

Think of a funnel like a leaky pipe. Visitors enter at the top (for example, a landing page) and you can see exactly at which step most people drop off before reaching the end goal (such as a completed signup). This helps you focus improvements where they'll have the most impact.

Funnel analysis lets you follow the visitor journey across multiple steps and see exactly where visitors drop off. You can use pageview goals or custom events as steps, and choose between sequential or strict order mode. See [funnel analysis](funnel-analysis.md) for details.
