Step 1: Create a Vendor Account in ClickBank.

For the first step, you will need to create a vendor account in ClickBank. If you already have this setup, you can skip this step. You can also head on to the next one if so.

If you haven’t yet, refer to the following steps:

1. Go to ClickBank’s website.
2. Log in to your ClickBank account. If you don’t have one, proceed to sign up first. You may also need to pay fees to successfully create one.
3. Once logged in, navigate to the left sidebar of your dashboard. Click Accounts from the choices.
4. Clicking the Account button will give you two choices. The first one is “Create an Account”. The second one is “Link Account”. If you will create a new one, choose the first option. If you already have a vendor account, click the second. We will focus on the former, though.
5. In creating a new account, you will be asked to select preferred settings. Initially, you have to set the account type. There are five options in total but you can only choose from two. If your goal is to sell products, select the Vendor Account. If you are both a seller and affiliate, you need to select Combination.
6. You will be required to enter a nickname. Enter whatever fits your preferences.

You can click Sign Up once you’re satisfied with the settings. Take note that it should be a vendor/combination account. This is because we will be dealing with selling products.

Step 2: Create a User in ClickBank.

The second step is where you need to create a user account. This will allow you to have access to ClickBank from other platforms. Simply speaking, this will serve as your clerks for management.

To do this, refer to the following guide:

1. Navigate back to your account’s dashboard.
2. Select Users from the left sidebar. This will redirect you to the User Management Page.
3. Click the “Create New User” button from the said page.
4. Check the box corresponding to “Is this an API-Only user?”. By default, a new user will receive a confirmation email. Checking the box will remove the need for it. It will also allow exclusive access to those with the API Key.
5. Add the user’s description and/or name. This will help you differentiate one user from another.
6. Optionally, you can set the appropriate permissions for the user. These include read/write for API settings.

After doing the tasks above, make sure to click the Save button. This will save the changes you made. The next step will require you to access your ClickFunnels account. Make sure that the tab for ClickBank won’t be closed. Some details will still need to be gathered from here.

Step 3: Setup integration in ClickFunnels.

Now that your ClickBank account is all set up, we will now set up ClickFunnels. To be specific, we will prepare the integration form. This will make the process possible.

Here are the steps that you should take:

1. Log in to your ClickFunnels account on another tab. Again, ensure that this will be done on another tab. The tab for ClickBank should be kept open.
2. Open your Account Settings. The button for this can be found by clicking your profile. It is the first one on the drop-down menu.
3. From the Account Settings page, scroll through the left sidebar. Under Setup, click Payment Gateways.
4. Select the Add New Payment Gateway button on the new page.
5. Click ClickBank from the options shown.

Again, keep this tab open. Save this step for later. What we just did is start the integration process between ClickFunnels and ClickBank.

Step 4: Retrieve the API Key, Vendor ID, Developer Key, and Secret Token from ClickBank. 200

For the last step on how to use ClickFunnels for ClickBank, we will go on to authenticate the integration. We will need to find the API Key, Vendor ID, and Developer Key from your ClickBank account. Without even one of these, the task won’t be completed.

Refer to the following list to do this:

1. Navigate back to the ClickBank Tab. This is what you left from Step 2 where we created a user.
2. Within the Users tab, you will be able to see the API Key box. Copy the code next to it. You need to paste this back to ClickFunnels’ Clerk API Key Field.
3. Go back to your ClickBank dashboard and open the Accounts tab from the sidebar.
4. From Accounts, you will see your nickname. Copy it, and paste it to ClickFunnels’ Vendor ID field.
5. Going back to ClickBank, click your nickname. This will redirect you to a new tab. Click Account Settings from the top menu.
6. Scroll down the Account Settings page until you find the Developer API Keys. Instead of copying, click Edit. Click “Create New Developer Key” afterwards.
7. On the new form, add a description. Click Save once you’re done.
8. Copy the new Developer API Key. Paste this on ClickFunnels’ API Key field.
9. For the Secret Token, go back to ClickBank. Select My Site under Vendor Settings.
10. Find Advanced Tools, and click Edit.
11. Enter your preferred secret key. This can be anything. Click Save Changes after.
