Overview
Selling digital products means you need a payment gateway that your store can talk to directly. Easy Digital Downloads – Braintree is built for sites that already run Easy Digital Downloads. It routes checkout payments through Braintree, so customers can pay with major credit cards or PayPal from the same checkout page. Braintree's encryption and fraud prevention tools handle sensitive payment data.
Beyond single purchases, the plugin supports subscriptions and payment plans for products that bill on a schedule. Returning customers can use stored payment details to check out in one click. Store owners also get transaction reports and customer data to review activity, and developers can adjust the payment experience through hooks and filters. The checkout is responsive, so it works on phones and tablets as well as desktops.
