Learn to connect the PayPal V2 integration via API. With this, you can directly connect PayPal with ClickFunnels to process payments in your funnels, including OTOs and order bumps.
Note: PayPal API integration only works on standard order forms -you should not use this integration with a Two-Step Order Form as it will not function properly.
What you will need
- A ClickFunnels Account
- A PayPal Business Account
- Development Link (required) to set up API https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts
Important Note: Your funnel only works with one Payment Gateway at a time. If you wish to have two different payment options in one funnel, it's recommended to create two funnels with duplicated customer experiences and add a button that moves the customer to their preferred payment gateway from the Sales Page.
Step 1. Create PayPal Client ID and Secret Key
- Log in to your PayPal account.
- Click here to go to PayPal Developer Applications.
- Scroll down to Rest API apps and click the "Create App" button.
- Enter an App Name.
- Click "Create App."
- Click on the "Live" tab to view the live API Credentials.
- Scroll down and click "Show" under Secret.

Note: the Live API credentials are required for live transactions. The Sandbox API Credentials will only work with the funnel in test mode.

- From within ClickFunnels, navigate to your Account Settings and click "Payment Gateways."
- Click "Add New Payment Gateway."
- Click "PayPal V2."
