How to Process Test Payments Through Your Funnel with Stripe or PayPal

How to Complete a Test Payment Using Stripe

Important Notes:

PayPal cannot process a checkout of a recurring-payment product (i.e. payment plans, subscriptions), plus an order bump at the same time.

PayPal also cannot process a one-time payment product, plus a recurring-payment order bump.

However, you could offer the recurring-payment order bump on the next funnel step as an one-click upsell.

If you have a "terms and conditions" checkbox on your order form, the customer will need to check the box before they can click on the PayPal button

If you use a one-step order form, the customer will need to enter all of the information above the payment section ( name, email, phone number, etc. ) before they will be able to click on the PayPal button.

Selecting the Funnel and Setting Test Mode
- Choose the funnel to test.
- Go to the settings tab and toggle the payment mode to test.
Editing the Order Form
- Remove the phone number from the order form ( here is a tutorial showing how ).
- Use the email address with variations like "+test" to create multiple test contacts.
