If you do not use the options.submitForSettlement option with Braintree_Transaction::sale(), then you will have to explicitly submit the transaction for settlement.

$result = Braintree_Transaction::submitForSettlement('the_transaction_id');

if ($result->success) {
    $settledTransaction = $result->transaction;
} else {
    print_r($result->errors);
}

If the transaction cannot be found, you'll receive a Braintree_Exception_NotFound exception.

Arguments
