FAQ

Sales funnel builder FAQ

How is this different from ClickFunnels, GoHighLevel, or Funnelytics?

Most tools stop at one step. ElasticFunnels connects the page, checkout, CRM, attribution, automations, analytics, and call center so you can see the whole customer path in one place.

What happens to my ad account learning when I split test?

Nothing. Variants stay under the same URL on the ad platform side. Facebook, Google, and TikTok keep optimizing against the same creative + URL pair while ElasticFunnels rotates variants server-side. No campaign resets, no learning loss.

What is actually included in the $97 plan?

Pages and the AI builder, same-URL split testing, custom checkout with MID routing, subscriptions, CRM, automations, 50+ integrations and 80+ analytics card types, plus the call center, email and courses. Every feature is on every plan; plans differ only by traffic, brands, domains and team members.

Where does the 0.5% checkout fee apply?

Only on revenue processed through ElasticFunnels-hosted checkout. ElasticFunnels also runs funnels for ClickBank, BuyGoods, Digistore24 and JVZoo: the network takes the payment on its own checkout, ElasticFunnels records each order with its affiliate from the vendor IPN, and those orders carry no ElasticFunnels fee (see how a ClickBank funnel is set up). Stripe and gateway fees are separate and stay with the gateway.

How long does migration off ClickFunnels or another tool take?

Pages: paste the URL into the AI Page Cloner and get an editable page, ready to publish. Checkout: a few hours to wire your gateway and products. Full migration with CRM history typically lands in 1 to 2 weeks for established brands. We help.

Do I own my data, or are you another walled garden?

You own it. Full data export at any time (JSON or CSV) for contacts, orders, sessions, and CRM records. No proprietary lock-in formats. If you leave, you take everything with you.

Can my dev team work in code or are we stuck in a builder?

Code-first if you want. There is a Cursor.ai / VS-Code Extension that syncs pages and components live. Templates use a familiar Blade-like syntax. Backend scripts run server-side. Visual builder for non-devs, code for everyone else.

How is the AI different from a generic chat tool?

Tools are wired into your real funnel data: the page cloner reads source URLs, reporting explains your metrics, optimization detects anomalies in your sessions. Credits are included with every plan, so there are no API keys to wire up and no separate AI bill to track.

Page, checkout, CRM and reporting already connected.
