How Do I Use Braintree With WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:37 pm

If you’re running an online store, you need to be able to accept payments. There are a number of ways to do this, but one of the most popular is through Braintree. Braintree is a payment processing platform that allows you to take payments from a variety of sources, including credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay.

If you’re using WooCommerce to run your online store, you can easily integrate Braintree into your site. In this article, we’ll show you how to do that.

First, you’ll need to create a Braintree account. You can do this by going to their website and clicking on the “Sign Up” button.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to generate some API keys. These will be used to connect Braintree to WooCommerce.

To generate the API keys, log into your Braintree account and go to the “Settings” page. On this page, you’ll find a section called “API Keys.”

Click on the “Generate New API Key” button and select “Full Access.” This will give you the ability to view and edit all aspects of your account through the API.

Once you have your API keys, you’ll need to install the WooCommerce Braintree plugin. This plugin will allow WooCommerce to connect to your Braintree account and start processing payments.

You can download the plugin from the WordPress plugin repository or from within your WooCommerce dashboard. To install it from within WooCommerce, go to the “Plugins” page and click on the “Add New” button.

Search for “WooCommerce Braintree,” then click on the “Install Now” button. Once the plugin has been installed, click on the “Activate” button.

Now that the plugin is activated, you’ll need to configure it with your API keys. To do this, go to the WooCommerce settings page and click on the “Payment Gateways” tab.

Find the “Braintree” gateway and click on it. Enter your API keys in the appropriate fields, then click on the “Save Changes” button.

With the plugin now configured, customers will be able to choose Braintree as their payment method at checkout. When they do so, they’ll be prompted to enter their credit card information or log into their PayPal account (if they’re using PayPal as their payment method). Once they’ve done that, they’ll be able to complete their purchase and have their funds deposited into your Braintree account.

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce and Braintree, it is important to keep in mind that Braintree is a payment processor, not a gateway. This means that you will need to install and configure the WooCommerce Payment Gateway extension first before you can start using Braintree with WooCommerce.
