After a few weeks of extensive working, today we’re thrilled to announce you that FrE Braintree is officially released. We decide to conduct this extension with the aim of providing you and your users more choices when checkout besides current payment gateways on FreelanceEngine site.
Braintree is currently available to merchants in 44 countries around the world and supports 130+ currencies. No matter where your users are located, they can easily check out since Braintree supports multiple payment methods, including almost all major credit and debit cards as well as PayPal account.
It’s quite easy to set up and use Braintree as a payment gateway on your site. If you are located in the list of countries that Braintree currently serves, you only need to have a merchant account and your site is running FreelanceEngine theme. That’s enough!!
In order to understand the flow as well as setting process, please follow the detailed guide below:
Back-end settings
1. From your Dashboard, go to Plugins → Add New to add FrE Braintree plugin.
2. Activate FrE Braintree as the image below:
3. Go to Engine Settings → Braintree to set up Braintree API
How to get API credentials
Regardless of how you connect your website or mobile app to Braintree, at minimum you will be required to provide these four values in order to process payments via the API, including Merchant Account ID, Merchant ID, Public Key, and Private Key.
You can locate these values by following these steps:
- Log in to either the production Control Panel or the sandbox Control Panel, depending on which environment you are working in.
- Navigate to Account → My user.
- Under API Keys, Tokenization Keys, Encryption Keys, click View Authorizations.
***Note*** If no API keys appear, please click Generate New API Key.
- Click View under the Private Key column to see your public and private keys, merchant ID, and environment.
- Copy these values from the Client Library Key and fill in the Braintree API section.
