<h2>Accept credit cards and PayPal directly on your store</h2>
<p>The PayPal Braintree extension lets you accept <b>credit cards and PayPal payments</b> on your WooCommerce store via Braintree. Customers can save their credit card details or link a PayPal account to their WooCommerce user account for fast and simple checkout.</p>
<p>With this gateway, you can <b>securely sell your products</b> online using Hosted Fields, which help you meet security requirements without sacrificing flexibility or an integrated checkout process. Hosted Fields, similar to iFrames, are hosted on PayPal’s servers but fit inside the checkout form elements on your site, providing a <b>secure, seamless</b> means for customers to share their payment information.</p>
<p>PayPal Braintree supports tokenization, letting your customers save their credit cards or connect their PayPal account for faster, easier subsequent checkouts. The gateway also supports <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/">WooCommerce Subscriptions</a> to let you sell products with recurring billing and <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-pre-orders/">WooCommerce Pre-Orders</a>, which supports accepting payments for upcoming products as they ship or up-front.</p>
