How To Setup Braintree Checkout

Braintree is a gateway option included in Imagely Pro. This article will show you how to set up Braintree as your payment gateway.

If you have not already done so, create a new Braintree Sandbox account on braintreepayments.com – please note that the Braintree Sandbox account is not linked to your production account in any way.You can locate your Braintree settings by first navigating to Imagely > eCommerce.

Next, click into the Payment Setup tab.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page to Enable Braintree.

Once enabled, a number of options appear:

1. Use Sandbox: Whether to use a Braintree Sandbox account or not.
2. Merchant ID: An identifier to Braintree linked to your account.
3. Public key: A public cryptographic key used to securely identify your site with Braintree’s servers.
4. Private key: A secret cryptographic key used to securely identify your site with Braintree’s servers.
5. Enable PayPal payments: By default only card payments are processed. This option requires additional configuration be done in your Braintree account’s Processing Options.
6. Send browser data to Braintree: This option is required to enable Braintree’s premium fraud detection features.

To access (or create) the above settings, begin by logging in to your Braintree account.

1. From the Homepage, click the gear icon ⚙️ in the top right corner, then click “API”
2. On this page you can find your “Merchant ID” setting.
3. Click “Generate New API Key” to generate a new key for Imagely Pro to use on your website.
4. The public key will be automatically displayed.
5. Click the “View” link in the “Private Key” column to obtain the private key.

Once these settings are configured, you may begin testing placing orders through Braintree.
