Accept Braintree
without building the integration
Braintree is PayPal's full-stack payment platform for merchants who want card processing and PayPal acceptance under one integration. It supports merchants across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Australia and can present prices in many currencies, though an account is configured for its home currency by default.

What PaymentHood handles for you
A direct Braintree integration is not just an API call. These are the parts every team ends up rebuilding — and the parts PaymentHood ships already done.
- Credentials
- Merchant ID with public and private keys, held server-side in PaymentHood
- 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
- Idempotent charge creation, so a retried request never double-charges a customer
- Automatic failover to another configured provider when Braintree is unreachable
- One reconciliation view across Braintree and every other provider you run
- Provider credentials never reach the storefront or the customer's browser
- Adding or switching a provider later is a dashboard change, not a re-integration
Use Braintree on your platform
Install the free PaymentHood plugin for your store, then enable Braintree in your dashboard.
Connecting Braintree takes three steps
Open your Braintree account
Register directly with Braintree and complete their onboarding. Funds settle from Braintree into your own bank account — PaymentHood never holds merchant money.
Add the credentials to PaymentHood
Paste your Braintree API credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They are stored server-side and never exposed to your storefront.
Enable it at checkout
Install the PaymentHood plugin for your platform, paste your PaymentHood API key, and Braintree appears as a payment option. Test in sandbox, then switch to live.
