Configuration fields

Basic Information

Credentials

The following credentials provided by Braintree must be configured. When a merchant account is set up with the Braintree gateway, the following information is assigned by the gateway. The information is used to identify the account through which the transaction will be processed. Obtain the values for these fields from the Braintree Merchant Console.

  • Merchant Id: A unique identifier for your gateway account.
  • Merchant Account Id: You can have multiple merchant accounts to process transactions for different businesses or currencies within your Braintree gateway. Each merchant account will be associated with a unique merchant account ID.
  • Public Key: User-specific public identifier.
  • Private Key: User-specific secure identifier that should not be shared.

  • Verify updated payment method: If you want the payment methods to be verified when updating them, select this checkbox. By default, this checkbox is selected.

    • Enable Level 3 Processing
    • ProductCode Custom Field API Name
    • CommodityCode Custom Field API Name

Test the configuration

We recommend that you test your payment gateway using both your payment gateway's test and production (live) environments.  Once you have completed testing in the gateway's test environment, it is recommended that you perform a test in your live production environment with a real payment method. If there are any differences in the configuration of your testing and production accounts, testing in production ensures your production merchant account is set up properly and can successfully connect to the production environment.

You can use the test information and testing scenarios provided by the gateway vendor to test your integration. For more information, see Braintree’s documentation.
