PayPal is compatible with Capture on Shipment enabled on the campaign. However PayPal will not work with both physical and digital products on a Capture on Shipment order. Be sure orders are all physical or all digital when using Capture on Shipment.

Recurring Billing without Reference Transactions enabled


Upsells without Reference Transactions enabled

If you cannot enable Reference Transactions on your PayPal account, you can still use PayPal for upsells by redirecting the customer back to PayPal for each upsell.

CheckoutChamp knows if the customer paid with a credit card or PayPal on the initial sale and will process with the same payment method on the upsell pages. This means you don’t need to design your upsell pages any differently than they already are. Using your existing “Yes” button on the upsell pages, a PayPal customer will redirect to PayPal if the PayPal gateway added into CheckoutChamp does not have Reference Transactions enabled.
