Braintree for WooCommerce Payment Gateway

Accept all major cards, Apple Pay, and PayPal directly with PayPal Braintree for WooCommerce. Customers can save their card details or link a PayPal account for an even faster checkout experience.

Features

• No redirects — keep customers on your site for payment, reducing the risk of abandoned carts.
• Security first; PCI compliant, with 3D Secure verification and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA).
• Express checkout options, including Buy Now and PayPal Checkout buttons. Customers can save their card details, link a PayPal account, or pay with Apple Pay.
• Optimized order management; process refunds, void transactions, and capture charges from your WooCommerce dashboard.
• Route payments in certain currencies to different Braintree accounts (requires currency switcher).
• Compatible with WooCommerce Subscriptions and WooCommerce Pre-Orders.

Safe and secure — every time

Braintree’s secure Hosted Fields provide a seamless way for customers to enter payment info on your site without redirecting them to PayPal.

It’s PCI compliant and supports SCA and 3D Secure verification, so you always meet security requirements — without sacrificing flexibility. Plus, Braintree’s fraud tools protect your business by helping detect and prevent fraud.

Even faster checkouts

Customers can save their credit and debit card details or link a PayPal account to fast-forward checkout the next time they shop with you. Adding PayPal Checkout and Buy Now buttons to your product, cart, and checkout pages makes purchasing simpler and quicker, too.

Get paid upfront and earn recurring revenue

Take charge of how you sell online. PayPal Braintree supports WooCommerce Subscriptions — the perfect solution for earning recurring revenue. It’s also compatible with WooCommerce Pre-Orders, enabling you to accept payment upfront or as products ship.

Minimum Requirements

• PHP 7.4+ (you can see this under WooCommerce > Status)

Installation

Updating

Automatic updates should work like a charm, though we do recommend creating a backup of your site before updating, just in case.

If you do encounter an issue after updating, you may need to flush site permalinks by going to Settings > Permalinks and clicking Save Changes. That will usually return things to normal!
