Braintree is an online payment processing platform that makes it easy to accept payments in your app or website.

Note: This connector does not include preconfigured request formats. When using a Braintree connection for an export or an import, you must manually build the HTTP request body using the request formats as documented in Braintree's API Guide.

Set up a connection

This video demonstrates creating a Braintree connection.

After you start the connection, you have to configure it in the Create connection panel and must complete all of the required * authentication settings:

Setting	Instructions
Name your connection *	Enter a clear and distinguishable name. Throughout integrator.io imports and exports, you will have the option to choose this new connection. A unique identifier will prove helpful later when selecting it from a list of the connections in your account.
Public key *	Enter your Braintree public key. How to retrieve the public key
Private key *	Enter your Braintree private key. Multiple layers of protection, including AES 256 encryption, are in place to keep your private key safe. When editing this connection, you must re-enter this value each time; it is stored only when the connection is saved and never displayed as text. How to retrieve the private key
Environment *	Select one of the following, depending on the Braintree account instance you're connecting to: Production: live production environment. Sandbox: user acceptance testing environment.

Tip: This connector documentation describes only the settings shown for the Simple view. For the corresponding HTTP settings, see basic auth universal connector documentation.

How to retrieve the public key and private key

Sign in to your Braintree (production/sandbox) account.
Navigate to Settings (the gear icon) > API > Keys.
In the API keys section, click + Generate new API key.

Note: You can use the existing public key and private key If you've already generated them.
