:rocket: April 2026 Present Update: 1-Click Upsells with PayPal (Funnelish V2)

This thread references older ClickFunnels integrations. Below is the most up-to-date information on how PayPal upsells (OTOs) are handled natively within Funnelish.

:stop_sign: What’s Changed & Deprecated

  • Legacy ClickFunnels Apps Deprecated: You no longer need external “ClickFunnels PayPal Apps” to process upsells. Funnelish V2 now handles all upsell and downsell routing seamlessly and natively inside the funnel builder.

:sparkles: Current Behavior: How PayPal Upsells Work

Funnelish fully supports post-purchase upsell (OTO) flows, but the exact behavior depends on the payment gateway the customer selects:

  • Credit Cards (Stripe, etc.): Funnelish supports true 1-click upsells for card payments. The customer’s payment method is securely tokenized, meaning when they click the “Buy Now” button on your upsell page, they are charged instantly without re-entering any details.
  • PayPal: Due to PayPal’s strict security protocols, standard PayPal checkouts require the customer to quickly re-approve the payment for the upsell via a secure redirect. While highly optimized for conversions, it requires a quick approval click on PayPal’s end, so it isn’t a “true” 1-click experience in the same way Stripe is.

:light_bulb: Best Practice for Maximizing AOV

We highly recommend offering both Stripe (Cards) and PayPal on your checkout! Customers who use cards will get the frictionless 1-click upsell, while those who prefer the trust of PayPal can still securely approve their upsell purchases.

Hello everyone, I started using clickfunnels recently and I would like to know if there is a way to do 1 click upsells with PayPal. I stumbled upon your forum but couldn’t quite figure out if its possible or if so how?

Thank you in advance

Well,

The one click upsell offered by Funnelish PayPal apps, is not a true one click upsell, we are working on supporting Reference Transactions, but it should take some time till then…

Our Upsells method tho, works pretty fine and has a decent conversion rate as well. Just your customers will have to approve every order on a secure PayPal page everytime without having to relogin of course…

In case you want pure one click upsells, you’ll have to apply for Reference Transactions feature and PayPal will review your application manually and then they’ll decide if to allow it on your account or not.

Hey Samantha,

I have Reference Transactions activated on my PP account, does that mean I can use the “true” one-click upsell?
