Braintree Payments

See documentation on Braintree Payments for other help topics. 


Your Customer Self Service site can offer and manage PayPal checkout and express options through Braintree Payments. With this option, PayPal payment is available on the Braintree tab during checkout and PayPal Express is controlled through Braintree settings. All PayPal transactions processed through the Braintree gateway will be integrated and viewable in your Braintree Control Panel.


NOTE - You will still need to establish a PayPal merchant account separately as payment processing fees will be charged by PayPal. Braintree does not charge fees for handling PayPal transactions.

Braintree PayPal

These Braintree PayPal options can be enabled on your site:

  • PayPal on the Braintree Payments 'Payment Methods' tab during the checkout process.  

    1, In the Payment panel during checkout, PayPal displays as a payment option under Braintree's Payment Methods tab.

     

    2.  When PayPal is selected, the PayPal button is displayed. 

    3. The user clicks the PayPal button. The secure PayPal login window displays. 

    4. The user logs into their PayPal account and selects from available payment options. After payment selection has been approved, they are returned to your website. The PayPal account with login ID is displayed. 

    5. The user clicks Process Payment to complete payment. If 'Allow Vault PayPal' is enabled in Settings, a successful PayPal account will be vaulted ready for future purchases.  NOTE - If vaulting is on, Pay in 4 will not be offered as an option to a logged in registered user.  

  • PayPal Express options. PayPal payment methods accessed through buttons on the product and cart pages. They are 'express' because the customer can log in to PayPal immediately to pay without adding to cart and going through the usual checkout process steps. Choose one or both Express options:  PayPal Checkout, Pay in 4 (PayPal's Buy Now, Pay Later). 

    NOTE - Enabling Braintree PayPal Express checkout through Braintree settings disables the use of separate PayPal Express settings.
