Add PayPal Buttons in GoHighLevel Payment Elements

This step-by-step guide shows you how to add PayPal buttons to payment elements inside GoHighLevel. If you use tools like ClickUp to manage your workflows, you can easily document these steps so your team can consistently enable PayPal alongside Stripe in your funnels and websites.

Following this tutorial, you will be able to show PayPal as an additional payment option on order forms and two-step order elements within your GoHighLevel pages.

What You Need Before Adding PayPal in GoHighLevel

Before you turn on PayPal buttons in your GoHighLevel payment elements, confirm that you meet the basic requirements below.

• An active GoHighLevel account with access to the Funnel or Website builder.
• Stripe connected as your primary payment gateway.
• Access to the specific funnel or website where you want to accept PayPal.
• The Payment element (order form or two-step order form) already added to your page.

Once these requirements are in place, you can enable PayPal directly in the checkout settings of the relevant payment element.

Access the Funnel or Website in GoHighLevel

The first step is to open the page where your payment element is placed.

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.

2. From the left-hand menu, go to Sites.

3. Select either Funnels or Websites, depending on where your checkout is created.

4. Click on the specific funnel or website that contains your order form.

5. Open the page where you want to show the PayPal button.

After the page is open in the builder, you can configure the GoHighLevel payment element to include PayPal.

Open the GoHighLevel Payment Element Settings

Within the page builder, you need to locate and edit the payment element where customers submit their card or PayPal details.

1. In the GoHighLevel page editor, hover over your checkout or order form area.

2. Click on the Payment element (such as an order form or two-step order form).

3. With the element selected, look to the panel on the right-hand side of the builder to see its settings.

This right-hand panel is where you configure payment options, including the PayPal feature.

Enable PayPal in the GoHighLevel Payment Element

GoHighLevel lets you activate PayPal in supported checkout elements by using the PayPal Payments toggle.

1. In the right-hand settings panel, scroll until you see the Checkout section.

2. Look for the setting labeled PayPal Payments: Off.

3. Click the toggle to switch it from Off to On.

Once you turn this setting on, PayPal is enabled for that payment element and will appear as a button option next to the card payment fields, subject to the customer’s region and eligibility.

Where PayPal Buttons Show in GoHighLevel Checkouts

After enabling PayPal in the GoHighLevel payment element, the interface may show PayPal buttons in more than one place on the checkout screen.

• Top of the form: In some layouts, a PayPal button can appear prominently above the standard card input fields.
• Within the payment section: Customers will usually see PayPal as an alternative alongside card payments powered by Stripe.

The exact placement may vary depending on the specific order form template and design used inside GoHighLevel, but the toggle you turned on controls the PayPal availability for that element.

Troubleshooting PayPal Buttons in GoHighLevel

If you do not see PayPal buttons after enabling the setting in your GoHighLevel payment element, check the following:

• Refresh the preview: Save your changes and click Preview to see the live checkout view.
• Element type: Confirm that you are using a supported payment or order form element in GoHighLevel, not a generic form.
• Payment gateway configuration: Make sure Stripe and any required integrations are properly connected in your account payments settings.
• Browser cache: Clear cache or open the page in an incognito window to ensure you are seeing the most recent version.

If the buttons still do not appear, compare your setup with the official instructions linked in the next section.

Best Practices for Using PayPal in GoHighLevel Checkouts

To make the most of PayPal inside your GoHighLevel funnels and pages, follow these basic best practices.

Design Your GoHighLevel Checkout for Clarity

• Use clear labels for products and price breakdowns.
• Keep the form short so customers can reach the PayPal button quickly.
• Ensure your branding is consistent across Stripe and PayPal payments.

Test Your GoHighLevel Payment Flow

• Run a test transaction using the payment element that now includes PayPal.
• Verify that order confirmations and automations trigger correctly.
• Check how the transaction appears in your payment gateway dashboard.

Document the Process for Your Team

• Capture screenshots of the GoHighLevel builder and settings you changed.
• Create a short SOP that references the PayPal toggle location.
• Store this SOP in your internal documentation system so future pages are configured the same way.
