2026 Updates: Using PayPal Exclusively (Native Funnelish)
Changes & Current Status:
In this 2017 thread, the user wanted to accept payments only via PayPal on ClickFunnels using the legacy Funnelish plugin. They ran into an issue where products wouldn’t show up on the order form unless a “dummy” gateway (like Stripe or Infusionsoft) was connected to ClickFunnels just to force the UI to render.
This legacy workaround is completely obsolete. Today, Funnelish is a standalone Funnel Builder and eCommerce platform. You no longer need ClickFunnels, nor do you need to fake a Stripe connection just to display your products.
Up-to-Date Information for PayPal-Only Checkouts: If you live in a country unsupported by Stripe (like the UAE) and want to process 100% of your funnel transactions exclusively through PayPal, here is how you do it natively in Funnelish:
1. Create Your Products Natively: Add your products, variants, and order bumps directly inside your Funnelish step settings. You do not need to link any external gateways to make them appear on your page; Funnelish handles it natively.
2. Connect Only PayPal:
Open your funnel page in the visual editor.
Click on your Payment Form (or 2-Step Form) element.
In the left settings panel, click Edit payment options, then click Add a new payment method and select PayPal.
Do not add any other gateways. Since you only selected PayPal, this will be the only core checkout system presented to your customers.
3. Credit Cards via PayPal: As an added bonus, Funnelish uses modern PayPal Smart Buttons. This means even if you only connect PayPal, your customers will still see a “Debit or Credit Card” button provided by PayPal, allowing them to check out as a guest without creating a PayPal account.

I do not have access to all of the payment platforms that clickfunnels integrates with except paypal because im in the UAE (E.g. stripe and Braintree)
Is there a way to configure click funnels so that it only accepts payments from the paypal plugin?
