:rocket: 2026 Updates: PayPal Seller Protection & Native Integrations

Changes & Current Status:

  • In this 2018 thread, users discussed lacking PayPal Seller Protection when using the legacy Funnelish PayPal V1 plugin for ClickFunnels. This was because the old script methods struggled to pass physical shipping addresses back and forth reliably.

  • These legacy V1/V2 plugins and ClickFunnels integrations are completely deprecated. Today, Funnelish is a standalone Funnel Builder and eCommerce platform, meaning these old syncing issues are a thing of the past.

Up-to-Date Information for PayPal Seller Protection: You no longer have to sacrifice PayPal protection just to trigger marketing emails. Funnelish handles the entire checkout and automation process natively:

1. Built-In PayPal Seller Protection: When you connect PayPal via the native Funnelish Pay integration, Funnelish uses PayPal’s modern, secure APIs. When a customer purchases a physical product, Funnelish automatically and reliably passes the required shipping address and transaction details directly to PayPal, ensuring your eligible physical goods qualify for standard PayPal Seller Protection.

2. No Need to Sync with ClickFunnels: The original poster wanted to keep using the buggy V1 app just so they could send emails from ClickFunnels. You no longer need to do this! Funnelish acts as your central CRM. When an order is placed, you can use native Funnel Automations to instantly trigger order confirmation emails, tag customers, or send data to fulfillment apps like Shopify and ShipStation.

Why isn’t there seller protection when doing sales through paypal v1?

Isn’t there a workaround around that even if it has to be done manually with a VA?

that’s one of the reasons we made V2! generally speaking seller protection is only needed in ecommerce (ie. ship-able products).

We might look into having some fulfillment functionality that will allow you to update tracking numbers on the fly as well as notify your customers… but it’s still in the planing phase :slight_smile:

@samlee Why is that. We do prefer to use V1 because it sends back sales into CF and then we can send emails to customers, trigger different actions put them in different lists etc.

Also it is easier for us to manage orders in one place.

Is there any workaround (even manual that we could use a VA for) in order to make those sales eligible for Seller Protection and allow us to upload tracking codes for etc?

Will add this into our todo list to investigate further, hopefully we can find some workarounds, we don’t mind making V1 work, but it’s already hard (and not 100% stable) to push addresses to CF. So I don’t know if any Seller protection implementation would be perfect, but will leave that to the team hopefully can come up with something.
