A complete, secure payment solution

PayPal Powered by Braintree enables you to securely receive online payments for the products and subscriptions in your WooCommerce store. Accept all the major credit and debit cards along with PayPal. The PayPal checkout button sits on both the shopping cart and main checkout pages. We do all the technical work so you can help future-proof payments to accept whatever emerges next. It also includes brilliant features like recurring billing. Best of all – there’s no fee.

One TouchTM checkout experience

PayPal Powered by Braintree includes the One TouchTM checkout experience, which eliminates the need for PayPal customers to enter a password or card details for up to six months. PayPal customers can pay with fewer clicks wherever and however they shop. Fewer screens, fewer clicks, and less friction can help improve conversion rates – especially on mobile.

Choices in fraud protection

You can enable and customize fraud tools, including AVS and CVV checks, and risk threshold rules, to reduce the likelihood of fraudulent activity. No developer work is required — just turn them on.

Capture of prior authorized transactions

With PayPal Powered by Braintree you can opt to capture previously authorized transactions directly from the WooCommerce Edit Order screen. Automating this task helps you get paid faster.

Refund processing from within WooCommerce

Process refunds for orders paid with credit cards or PayPal directly from within WooCommerce, reducing store management time. Issue full or partial refunds from the Edit Order screen and send the transaction automatically to Braintree by clicking “Refund via Credit Card” or “Refund via PayPal.”

PCI DSS v3.0 SAQ-A compliance

Using Hosted Fields – which create iFrames that are hosted on our servers and fit inside checkout form elements – you provide a secure, customizable way for customers to enter their credit card information without impacting your theme. Hosted Fields make your operations PCI DSS v3.0 SAQ-A compliant. Sensitive payment information is posted directly to Braintree, bypassing servers. Customers get a seamless checkout, and you get worry-free, necessary security.
