Braintree payment gateway

The Braintree payment gateway asset allows you to create a Braintree payment gateway allowing users to make payments by credit cards or PayPal in a secure way. To use the Braintree payment gateway, you will need an account at the Braintree website. You can also create a sandbox testing account on the Braintree website to test your payment gateway implementation in Matrix.

Once you have added a Braintree payment gateway, you configure its settings on its associated asset screens. The majority of these screens are the same as a standard page and are described in the Asset screens documentation. This chapter describes the Details and Display formatting screens, which are different for a Braintree payment gateway asset.

Additional dependant assets

When you create a Braintree payment gateway, the display format and bodycopy asset is automatically created beneath it. You can use this bodycopy to define the contents and layout of the payment and cardholder verification forms. The display format bodycopy can be also be accessed and edited through the Display formatting screen.

Details screen

The Details screen allows you to configure the settings of the Braintree payment gateway.

Card verification

This section allows you to use the Address verification system (AVS) as an added security measure for credit card transactions made on the Braintree payment gateway. Please note that the AVS is not available in all countries. This setting is not applicable if you are using the drop-in payment form version.

Test mode

This section allows you to set the payment gateway into test mode to use the payment gateway for testing purposes only. If this field is set to Yes, the payment gateway will not process any payments. The credit card number field on the Braintree payment gateway form will be replaced with the test drop-down menu with success and failure credit card options.

You can only use production Braintree accounts with test mode turned off.

Pass-through variables

This section allows you to source address information for the address verification service (AVS) from the user’s ecommerce form responses. For example, a user’s response to a Postcode form field on an ecommerce form could be passed through to the Braintree payment gateway to provide the AVS check’s postcode.

In the available fields, enter the pass-through variable keys for the corresponding form fields. These keys must be configured on the Ecommerce rules screen of the Ecommerce form page.

The fields that are available in this section are as follows:

First name variable name: Enter the pass-through variable name for the first name of the billing address.
Last name variable name: Enter the pass-through variable name for the last name of the billing address.
Street address variable name: Enter the pass-through variable name for the street address of the billing address.

Display formatting screen

The Display formatting screen allows you to edit the display format bodycopy.

The display format bodycopy is used to define the layout of the Braintree payment gateway page.
