# Progress
The progress component displays an indicator showing the completion status of a task. Use it to visually communicate progress in either determinate (known percentage) or indeterminate (unknown duration) states.
Pair progress with text components to communicate what the progress bar is tracking. For a loading indicator without a progress bar, use [spinner](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions/latest/web-components/feedback-and-status-indicators/spinner) instead.
Progress doesn't include a built-in text label. Pair it with text components to describe the current state for accessibility.

#### Use cases
* **Free shipping threshold**: Visualize how much more a buyer needs to spend to qualify for free shipping.
* **Rewards progress**: Show how close a buyer is to reaching the next loyalty or rewards tier.
* **Loading states**: Indicate that an asynchronous operation is in progress with an indeterminate progress bar.
* **Failed processes**: Communicate a failed process with the `critical` tone alongside an error message.
***
## Properties
Configure the following properties on the progress component.
* **accessibilityLabel**
**string**
A label announced by assistive technologies that describes what is progressing. Use this to provide context about the ongoing task, such as "Loading order details" or "Uploading file".
* **id**
**string**
A unique identifier for the element. Use this to reference the element in JavaScript, link labels to form controls, or target specific elements for styling or scripting.
* **max**
**number**
**Default: 1**
The total amount of work the task requires. Must be a value greater than `0` and a valid floating point number.
Learn more about the [max attribute](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/progress#max).
* **tone**
**'auto' | 'critical'**
**Default: 'auto'**
The semantic meaning and color treatment of the progress indicator.
* `auto`: Automatically determined based on context.
* `critical`: Indicates an urgent or error state requiring immediate attention.
* **value**
**number**
How much of the task has been completed. Must be a valid floating point number between `0` and `max`, or between `0` and `1` if `max` is omitted. When no value is set, the progress bar is indeterminate, indicating an ongoing activity with no estimated completion time.
Learn more about the [value attribute](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/progress#value).

## Examples
### Display a progress bar
Display a basic progress bar. This example shows an `s-progress` element at 50% completion.
## Display a progress bar

### Show rewards tier progress
Display how close a buyer is to reaching the next tier. This example uses a [stack](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions/latest/web-components/layout-and-structure/stack) to position point counts on either side of the progress bar with a motivational message below.
## html
```html
Rewards progress
350 / 500 points
Earn 150 more points to reach Gold tier
```
### Indicate an error state
Use the `critical` tone to communicate that a process has failed. This example pairs a red progress bar with a [banner](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions/latest/web-components/feedback-and-status-indicators/banner) that describes the error and guides the buyer toward a resolution.
## html
```html
The file couldn't be uploaded. Check the file size and try again.
```
***
## Best practices
* **Pair with text to communicate status**: The progress bar alone doesn't convey what's happening. Add a label, percentage, or description using text components.
* **Add reassuring text for loading states**: When using an indeterminate progress bar, include text like "Loading..." to confirm the operation is still in progress.
* **Use the critical tone with an error description**: When a process fails, switch the tone to `critical` and add a banner or text describing the error and next steps.
* **Visualize meaningful goals**: Use determinate progress bars for goals that are valuable to the buyer, like rewards tiers or free shipping thresholds.
