Description

The Braintree Gateway processes credit card payments directly in the WooCommerce checkout, connecting the shop to the Braintree API (PayPal company) without redirecting the customer to external sites. Designed for those who sell physical or digital products and want the customer to stay within the shop throughout the purchase, it keeps sensitive data tokenized by the gateway and outside the WordPress server.
