      What you need

      • A bank account – this is where funds will be deposited once payments start going through.

      • A merchant account – used for routing funds from your customers’ accounts to your bank account. It is similar to a line of credit, so you’ll need to fill out an application form with Braintree. Once approved, you can begin accepting payments from customers. Braintree offers merchant accounts, but if you already have one, it’s possible that you can continue to use it with Braintree only acting as a payment gateway. Keep in mind that if you use another merchant account provider, they will have fees associated with their services on top of Braintree’s fees. You can Contact Braintree for more details.

      • A payment gateway – Braintree’s payment gateway will connect you to all of the banking institutions and payment processors that you need in order to collect money from your customers. You’ll give the payment information to Braintree, and Braintree will let you know if the transaction was approved by the bank.

      Receipt emails

      Braintree can send email receipts to your customers for every successful sale transaction. This feature needs to be activated by Braintree’s support team, so it’s best if you check this article on how to do this. Once their support team confirms the feature is enabled, you need to:

      1. Log into the Control Panel in Braintree

      2. Navigate to Settings > Processing > Email Receipts > Edit

      3. Check the box next to Enabled

      4. Configure settings

      5. Click Save

      Payment icons

      You can add Payment icons on your registration form to show which forms of payment are supported. Please keep in mind that some of these options may only be available in select countries. The icons serve only as a visual indicator for the person making the purchase. If you are not certain which forms of payment are supported by the selected payment method, we advise checking with the payment method’s official documentation.
