WooCommerce PayPal powered by Braintree is a WooCommerce Plugin which allows you to accept Credit Cards and PayPal Payments Gateway via Braintree. It authorizes credit card payments and processes them securely with Braintree merchant account.

Braintree Payment Gateway supports WooCommerce Subscriptions and Pre-Orders to bring new functionality to your payment gateway. WooCommerce Subscriptions allows you to set up recurring billing for your customers so you get payment on and every time.
