Learn to connect the PayPal V3 integration via API. With this, you can directly connect PayPal with ClickFunnels to process payments in your funnels, including OTOs and order bumps.
Prior to getting started, you will need the following:
- A PayPal Business Account
- Development Link (required) to set up API https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts
Important Note: Only the following are supported with PayPal API integration on an order page: One-Time Product, Subscription Product, or One-Time Product+ Order Bump.
A Subscription Product + Order Bump on a page will not work together due to how PayPal processes payments. It is suggested to add an OTO page in place of the order bump in these cases.
A Subscription Product + Order Bump on a page will not work together due to how PayPal processes payments. It is suggested to add an OTO page in place of the order bump in these cases.

Important Note: The Live API credentials are required for live transactions. The Sandbox API Credentials will only work with the funnel in test mode. Please REPEAT the steps above to create a Sandbox App.
Step 2: Integrate with ClickFunnels
- From within ClickFunnels, navigate to your Account Settings and click Payment Gateways.
- Click Add New Payment Gateway.
- Click PayPal V3.
- Copy and Paste the Client ID from PayPal.
- Copy and paste the Secret ID from PayPal.
- Click on Create PayPal V3 Account.
- Repeat the steps above to integrate the Sandbox app you created on Step 1 so you can test your funnel(s), remember to toggle the LIVE credentials OFF.
- By the end of following STEP 1 and 2, you should have 2 PayPal V3 Gateways set up one for the Sandbox and one for live.
Important Note: Make sure when using PayPal V3 you are connected to your live account to accept live payments.
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.
