In this video, you will learn how to add Paypal as a payment option in your Funnel Buildr 2.0 app settings.  Please keep in mind, if you have the app installed on more than one store, you will need to complete this process for each store, but if you're using the same Paypal account you can copy the same credentials to each store.




If your Paypal Account has Reference Transactions Enabled:



You will just need to enter in the API credentials as detailed in the video above.  This will allow you to offer true one-click upsells/downsells to your customers.  Make sure to set the Paypal Reference Transactions to ENABLED.


If your Paypal Account does *not* have Reference Transactions Enabled:

  8. Login to your store and go into the Funnel Buildr app.
  9. Click Settings > Checkout Settings
