I'm trying to find out best practices for a multi-view scenario. Take the classic example of ecommerce, where you might first enter address information, then credit card information, then confirm it all and the purchase is made.

Seems to me this has to be done with a separate scenario for each view?

The whole process would be:

Scenario: I purchase a widget by paying for it with a credit card
 Given I am logged in as Sheila
 And I have a widget in my cart that costs $5
 When I press "Checkout"
 And enter my address information
 And press "OK"
 And enter my credit card information
 And press "OK"
 And press "OK"
 Then my credit card balance should be reduced by $5
 And I have a completed transaction in my order history

But that seems really really wrong.  So I assume it needs to be like this?

Scenario: I purchase a widget by entering my address information
 Given I am logged in as Sheila
 And I have a widget in my cart that costs $5
 When I press "Checkout"
 And enter complete address information
 And press "OK"
 Then I do not get an error message
 And I am on the "credit card information" page

Scenario: I purchase a widget by entering my credit card information
 Given I am logged in as Sheila
 And I have a widget in my cart that costs $5
 And I am on the "credit card information page"
 When I enter valid credit card information
 And press OK"
 Then I do not get an error message
 And I am on the "confirm purchase" page
...etc...

Yes?  No?  Examples?

Thanks,
