Accept Braintree
payments on WHMCS
Install the free PaymentHood module for WHMCS, connect your Braintree account, and Braintree appears as a payment option at checkout. No custom gateway code, and no second integration when you add another provider later.

- One-time checkout and recurring renewals — WHMCS generates both, and the module handles both.
- Cost
- The module is free and open source. You pay Braintree's own fees, published on their pricing page (opens in new tab). PaymentHood adds nothing on top.

Connect Braintree to WHMCS
Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the WHMCS installation guide.
Open a Braintree account
Register with Braintree and finish their onboarding. Funds settle from Braintree to your own bank account.
Add it in PaymentHood
Paste your Braintree credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They stay server-side and never reach your storefront.
Install the module
Download the WHMCS module and install it from Apps & Integrations in your WHMCS admin.
Enable and test
Paste your PaymentHood API key into the module settings, run a sandbox order end to end, then switch to live.
Rather than a direct Braintree module
A single-provider module works until you need a second provider. These are the parts you would otherwise build and maintain yourself.
- Webhook security
- Signed webhook payload, verified before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side transaction status re-check against the Braintree API before fulfilment
- Credentials
- Merchant ID with public and private keys, held server-side in PaymentHood
- Add a second provider without touching your WHMCS checkout
- Automatic failover when Braintree is unreachable, instead of a failed order
- Idempotent charge creation, so a double-submitted order is not a double charge
- One reconciliation view across every provider you run
- Free and open source — read the module on GitHub (opens in new tab)
