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

How to Complete a Test Payment Using Stripe


How to Complete a Test Payment Using PayPal

Import 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.
