Braintree Integration

Hi @ria75,

Thanks for the message; the site is back up now.

We don’t have any imminent plans to develop a Braintree integration, though it’s certainly on our radar in the medium term. That said, if you are interested in sponsoring development of an integration, that may be a possibility — get in touch via our support form and we can follow up via email.

Out of interest, what is the main appeal of Braintree for you, versus something like Stripe or Authorize.net?

Cheers,
Eric

Thanks for the quick response. I am working with a nonprofit that has historically taken only Paypal payments. Authorize.net has too high of a fee structure, and Stripe does not support Paypal. While I am considering going with the latter, the lack of integration with Paypal for donors that wish to continue with that method is the issue.

Hope that helps! I’ll let you know if we decide we want to sponsor the development.

Hi @ria75,

Charitable supports both Stripe & PayPal, so you could just use our Stripe gateway extension alongside the built-in PayPal option. Would that work for your needs?

Cheers,
Eric

Not as elegant, but I’m going to try that first. I am still having an issue with your website, and it seems that’s the only place I can download the Stripe plugin for Charitable. I’m getting a 403 Forbidden error. Is there somewhere else I can download this?

Hi @ria75,

Oh dear, that’s frustrating. I’m not seeing the 403 Forbidden errors anymore, but this may be lingering for you as a result of the issues on Friday. Could you mind sending me your IP address? I can make sure there is no IP ban on it. Feel free to get in touch by emailing [email protected] if you’d prefer to send it privately.

Cheers,
Eric
