2026 Update: This thread describes legacy “PayPal v1” workarounds that are now obsolete. If you are using Funnelish v2, you do not need to manually configure PayPal Auto Return URLs. > The Modern Workflow:
Use PayPal Commerce: The modern PayPal Commerce integration handles post-transaction redirects natively. It automatically detects the next step in your funnel (Upsell, Downsell, or Thank You Page) and directs the customer there without them needing to click “Return to Merchant.”
Check your Funnel Steps: If a customer isn’t being redirected, it is almost always because the Funnelish app is not configured with the correct Next Step in your funnel builder, or the product is not mapped to the next step’s ID.
Avoid Manual “Auto Return”: Manually setting an Auto Return URL in your PayPal dashboard can actually conflict with Funnelish’s dynamic redirection and cause “order stuck” issues. If you have an old URL set there, it is recommended to clear it.
If you are experiencing issues with upsells not triggering, ensure your funnel steps are correctly sequenced in the Funnelish editor and that your payment gateway is fully synced.
Hello,
I have a Funnel with several Up- and Downsells. Right now when the client buys the first product he stays on the pay pal site with a little button to get back to my funnel. After the second purchase even the button is not visible on the payPal Site.
When the client buys a product via payPal he should redirect to the next funnel step. How is the standard process in Clickfunnels with Funnelish and several products (OTOs).
So first with that issue, that means probably you didn’t add your Upsells/Downsells to Funnelish correctly and TYP as well… When Funnelish doesn’t find a Thank you page or a next OTO page, it will keep your customers in the default PayPal order confirmation page.
So I believe there you have some mistake in your funnel (in Funnelish of course)…
Since you mentioned Upsells/Downsells, you should probably be aware that it makes lots of difference, here is a little definition of each and what its for:
Upsells: They are mainly to upsell some other offer, and they are shown to your customers in every case.
Downsells: This kind of steps are mainly used to offer a discounted offer to the previous one that your customers said “no” to already… Meaning the downsell won’t be shown to your customers unless they say “NO” meaning it comes right after an OTO all the time…
