Description

The Braintree addon connects Event Espresso checkout to the Braintree gateway, processing credit card and PayPal charges directly on the event registration payment page. The Braintree extension adds the payment method to the list of options available to the participant, transmitting sensitive data through Braintree’s servers and preventing the card from traveling through the site, simplifying PCI compliance for event organizers.

Main Features

  • Processing via Braintree
    Routes Event Espresso charges to Braintree’s payment infrastructure.
  • Credit card and PayPal
    Enables card and PayPal account payments on the same registration checkout screen.
  • On-site card capture
    Keeps the participant on the event payment page, without external redirection.
  • Sandbox mode for testing

  • Admin configuration in Event Espresso

Benefits of Braintree Gateway

  • Less checkout friction
    Participants complete payment without leaving the page, reducing registration abandonment.
  • Simplified PCI compliance
    Card data travels through Braintree, reducing compliance scope on the event site.
  • Broad card brand coverage
    Accepts the major card brands supported by Braintree in a single integration.
  • Secure testing before launch
    Allows validation of the entire billing flow in sandbox before releasing to the public.

Who is it for?

  • Paid event organizers using Event Espresso who need an alternative to Stripe or PayPal Standard.
  • Companies and producers already processing their charges through Braintree who want to unify their event gateway.
  • Promoters of courses, workshops, and conferences selling tickets directly through a WordPress site.

The Braintree extension positions Event Espresso among event platforms with an integrated proprietary gateway, serving organizers who need a robust processor without migrating to external selling solutions. For those already maintaining an active Braintree account, the component connects the registration flow to the existing processor, consolidating financial reports and keeping payment control within the same WordPress panel used to manage events.
