VibeFox Braintree for WooCommerce

Overview

VibeFox Braintree Gateway adds credit and debit card payments through Braintree (PayPal) to WooCommerce. Customers enter their card in the Braintree Drop-in UI, a secure form served by Braintree, right on the checkout page. The card number never reaches your server; your store only receives a one-time payment token.

It suits stores with a Braintree merchant account that want card payments on their own checkout, with 3-D Secure 2 for Strong Customer Authentication in the EEA and UK. The plugin takes card payments only. It has no saved cards, no WooCommerce Subscriptions or pre-orders, no PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, Google Pay or ACH, and no Braintree webhooks: disputes and settlement declines are not synced to WooCommerce.

Key features

Braintree Drop-in UI: card form on the classic checkout, on the Checkout block and on the Pay for order page.

3-D Secure 2: Enabled (failed authentications are blocked) or Required (only payments with liability shift are accepted), with a server-side check of the payment token.

Sale or Authorize only: charge immediately, or reserve the funds and capture or void them later from the order screen.

Paid only when Braintree confirms: the order is marked paid only from Braintree's authenticated server answer, after the charged amount and currency are checked against the order. A charge in the wrong currency is voided automatically, and the customer is not charged.

No double charges: a paid-order guard, a per-order lock and single-use payment tokens make sure an order is never charged twice.

Refunds: full and partial refunds from the WooCommerce order screen. A full refund of a transaction that has not settled yet is done as a void. Refunds, captures and voids use the environment the order was paid in.

Merchant account per currency: optional, for example EUR=mystore_EUR, USD=mystore_USD. Zero-decimal currencies such as JPY and KRW are charged as whole amounts.

Modern WooCommerce: sandbox and live credentials side by side, link from the order to the transaction in the Braintree Control Panel, log without keys, card or customer data, HPOS.

Requirements

WordPress 6.0 or later, WooCommerce 8.0 or later, PHP 8.0 or later, HTTPS. A Braintree account with Merchant ID, Public Key and Private Key; 3-D Secure enabled for the account unless you switch it off. A VibeFox license key from vibefox.net (one key per domain).
