Overview

• Braintree is a payment processor supported by versions of Stone Edge which utilize the Monsoon Commerce Payment Module to process electronic payments (V7.1 and 8)

• Braintree provides both merchant account services and payment gateway services for accepting credit and debit cards as a form of payment.

• Braintree's US merchant accounts include Visa, MasterCard, Discover, JCB, and sometimes American Express, as the default payment types.

• International accounts include Visa and MasterCard as default payment types. American Express can be added by request.

• All online transactions are processed as credit, as there is no online acceptance of PIN required debit cards.

• Most Braintree accounts also accept PayPal.    

• Braintree supports the authorizations/delayed captures, sales, and void transactions. It also supports the use of tokens.
