Braintree Auth (Beta)

Merchant APIanchor

availability

Braintree Auth is in closed beta. Contact us to express interest.

Once you have an access_token, you are ready to perform actions on behalf of that merchant.

The only difference between the API to perform actions on behalf of a merchant and for a merchant performing their own actions is that the gateway object used to make API calls must be instantiated with an access token instead of a client ID and secret.

Creating a transactionanchor

This is how to create a transaction using an access token:

  1. PHP
$gateway = new BraintreeGateway([
    'accessToken' => useAccessTokenForMerchant,
]);

$result = $gateway->transaction()->sale([
  'amount' => '100.00',
  'paymentMethodNonce' => nonceFromTheClient
]);

$transactionId = $result->transaction->id;

Creating a customeranchor

Here's how you would create a customer for a merchant:

  1. PHP
$gateway = new BraintreeGateway([
    'accessToken' => useAccessTokenForMerchant,
]);

$result = $gateway->customer()->create([
    'firstName' => 'Joe',
    'lastName' => 'Brown',
    'email' => 'joe@example.com',
    'phone' => '312-555-1234',
]);

$customerId = $result->customer->id;

Authentication errorsanchor

The merchant has the right to revoke an authorization grant at any time. If this occurs, you will receive a Braintree\Exception\Authentication when attempting to take any action on the merchant’s behalf.
