Important Notes

Please make sure that you read all of the information below prior to setting up your PayPal integration.
Due to the nature of the integration, PayPal does not support One Click Upsells or One Time Offers (OTOs) at this time.

When creating the PayPal button, you will need to select "Buy Now" for a one time purchase product.
For a subscription product, make sure to choose "Subscriptions" as the button type.
Buttons created using shopping Cart will not function properly.

ClickFunnels Order Confirmation pages will not work with PayPal, so direct your customers to a Thank You page after purchase.
The reason the Order Confirmation page type won't work is because a customer coming from PayPal to the Order Confirmation page will appear as a new visitor due to how cookies and page linking.

Make sure the SMTP settings in your account (My Account > Settings > SMTP Email Settings) are set up properly for your customers to receive a fulfillment e-mail after purchase.

The only way to really test your PayPal integration is to purchase the product with another PayPal account.
You could also get a PayPal sandbox testing account. However, this requires a more complex setup and is not something we can provide support for.
Our recommendation for testing is to lower your price to $1 and have a friend/colleague buy with their PayPal account. You can always refund after your test.
