Woo Braintree Payment

Description

Woo Braintree Payment is a plug-in that enables WooCommerce merchants to accept debit/credit card and/or PayPal payments via the Braintree – a PayPal company. Braintree is a Level 1 PCI-DSS compliant service provider.

Our plug-in extends the WooCommerce by defining a new (card) payment method called Braintree. As such the WooCommerce checkout page offers a new payment method – Credit card – with three fields: a card number, card expiry date and the Card Code Verification (aka CCV or CVC).

The plug-in is built with PCI DSS in mind. The card information is exchanged exclusively between the card holder and the Braintree gateway – a Level 1 PCI DSS service provider. This is very important if you want your webshop to be Level 3 PCI-DSS compliant (and you, as a merchant, should be!).

The plug-in allows various levels of card customization, from its aspect (via custom CSS) to functionality. Nevertheless it allows you to configure it and train its functionalities in a Sandbox environment and finally, when you are ready, just switch it to production mode with one click. See a comparision between Sandbox mode and Production mode.

Woo Braintree Payment – PRO version

This plug-in comes in two different flavors:

• Woo Braintree Payment – the free edition of this plug-in hosted at www.remarpro.com. This edition should be just fine for the average merchant.
• Woo Braintree Payment – PRO – the premium edition which is hosted by ourselves. It is oriented towards those merchants who need a more robust and customizable WooCommerce credit card payment plug-in. For a comparison between the two editions please see a features comparison matrix.

How it works

1. First you need to sign up for a Braintree account. You will get an unique merchant ID which is linked to a single bank account/currency. You may setup your Braintree account such that you may have different bank accounts corresponding to different currencies.
2. When the customer places a shopping order the plug-in will send on your behalf a request to the Braintree Payment Gateway to authorize the sale transaction. By doing that the Braintree will charge your customer the amount specified by the customer order’s total amount.
3. If the transaction is authorized (ie. the card is valid and has enough funds for the transaction) then in order to collect the founds the transaction is going to be settled. After a transaction is settled, funds will pass through your merchant account to your bank account.

Do not get this plugin

jenniferlynne January 22, 2019

The developers have abandoned this plug in but not before I paid for it on the website. No customer service or help anywhere to be found. Luckily I had started a dispute with my credit card company to get my money back. I got my programmer to look more closely at the code to see if we could make it work, but it is not PCI compliant. Any information sent through this plug in is not secure and can be stolen. Steer clear. We found another plug in that we are currently implementing after weeks of trying to get support for this POS.

Unfortunately waste of money on the PRO.

slider521 September 1, 2018

Had paid the full price for the PRO and supriseeeee: nothing. The DEV won’t answer emails, support tickets on the website, nothing. It was a very promising plugin, given the fact that we needed it a lot, but this is a perfect example of a DEV abandoning a plugin and getting paid without caring about its clients. Would stay away from this. Don’t waste your money because you will lose it.

Best Braintree Plugin

gijsjanvoeten December 8, 2016

Very happy with this plugin. We have installed it for several customers already; it’s just flexible and reliable. We had a problem with the installation in one case, though. By installing the plugin we have spotted a problem within the theme that was used for that website. We received instant support, unbelievable, although the problem laid within the theme. I would give a higher rating if I could but unfortunately WordPress is so stingy. So five stars from us and many thanks to the developers.

I recommend
