Braintree is a full-stack payment service provider owned by PayPal, combining a
merchant account and payment gateway in a single integration. It is aimed at
businesses that want to accept cards, PayPal, and digital wallets across web and
mobile, and is well established in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific
region. The connection to Braintree uses API credentials, so merchants supply
their own Braintree keys to link an existing account.
