A big price tag beside a small one, for a tripwire funnel that leads to larger purchases

Your agent builds and ships the whole funnel

Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor writes the pages, sets up checkout and publishes over MCP. HighLevel has an MCP server too, but it is built around CRM work like contacts, conversations and calendars. Pages are still made in its editor.

Nothing goes live broken

Every publish runs a launch check: every step routes somewhere, checkout has a live product, the purchase event fires and the thank-you page is gated. Your agent fixes what fails first.

Pages you own

Your pages are plain HTML, CSS and JS. Download any funnel at any time and it still opens in a browser. HighLevel has no export for funnel pages.

Questions

For funnels, yes: pages, checkout with order bumps and one-click upsells, a CRM, email flows, A/B tests, members areas and affiliates. It does not replace HighLevel’s SMS, phone and agency reselling tools.

Yes. Give your agent the copy, offer and screenshots of your current pages, and it rebuilds them as plain files. Then it sets up checkout and runs the launch check before anything goes live.

Yes. Send leads and purchases from ShipFunnels to HighLevel with webhooks, Zapier or Make, and keep using HighLevel for texting and calls.

No. Emails go through your own sending provider, so you pay that provider’s normal rate and ShipFunnels adds nothing per email.
