Description

The Braintree gateway processes credit card charges directly in the checkout forms of Restrict Content Pro, capturing data via the Braintree API and tokenizing payments for PCI compliance. The extension also activates automatic recurring charges for membership levels with monthly or annual renewal, aimed at those who run membership sites and need to accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex and Discover without redirecting the subscriber to an external page.

Who is Braintree recommended for?

  • Those who maintain paid membership areas in Restrict Content Pro and want to accept cards without sending users off the site.
  • Ideal for those who charge monthly fees for courses, closed communities or premium content and need automatic renewal.
  • Those who already use Braintree as the acquirer in other channels and want to consolidate subscription charges in the same dashboard.

How to Download Braintree

The Braintree gateway is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins, Add New, Upload plugin, select the file and click activate. Once active, configure the Braintree account credentials in Restrict, Settings, Payments to enable the gateway in checkout.

Membership operations that rely on continuous renewal find Braintree as an alternative to the native integrations of Restrict Content Pro, with local card capture and status sync via webhook.
