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. Ruby
gateway = Braintree::Gateway.new(
  :access_token => use_access_token_for_merchant
)

result = gateway.transaction.sale(
  :amount => "100.00",
  :payment_method_nonce => nonce_from_the_client
)

transaction_id = result.transaction.id

Creating a customeranchor

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

  1. Ruby
gateway = Braintree::Gateway.new(
  :access_token => use_access_token_for_merchant
)

result = gateway.customer.create(
  :first_name => "Joe",
  :last_name => "Brown",
  :email => "joe@example.com",
  :phone => "312.555.1234",
)

customer_id = 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::AuthenticationError when attempting to take any action on the merchant’s behalf.
