An all-in-one payment solution

A video of the Braintree payment form in Charitable

One of the highest-converting digital wallets!

Non-profits can reach more donors and drive higher conversion with popular payment methods in a single, seamless integration. Braintree allows you access to 130+ currencies, global markets, and popular payment methods in over 45+ countries and regions.

Donors can add credit and debit cards, popular digital wallets, and local payment methods such as ACH Direct Debit and UnionPay when they process their donation, all within one plug-in.

Reach European donors with local payment methods

Charitable Braintree 1.3.0 now supports popular European local payment methods – iDEAL in the Netherlands, Bancontact in Belgium, EPS in Austria, BLIK and Przelewy24 in Poland, and MyBank in Italy and Portugal. When your site’s currency matches a method’s supported currency, the relevant payment buttons appear automatically below the card form, so donors can give through the bank transfer or wallet they already use every day.

Offering the payment options donors already trust removes friction at checkout and can drive noticeably higher conversion on campaigns targeting European audiences. There’s nothing extra for donors to set up, and nothing for you to configure beyond enabling the methods you’d like to offer.

Complete data security and privacy

Cardholder data is managed natively in Braintree’s secure system, using multiple encryption keys with split knowledge and dual control. This offers non-profits the security of knowing their donors’ financial information is private and secure.

Passwords are never stored directly in the database, and all API and Control Panel communication between merchants and Braintree are conducted using TLS (Transport Layer Security), completely safeguarding your donors’ data.

Accept recurring donations with Braintree

Combine Charitable Braintree with our Recurring Donations plugin to start accepting recurring donations with Braintree.

Braintree supports monthly, quarterly, semi-annually and annually recurring donations.

Let donors pay the transaction fee

Charitable Braintree works seamlessly alongside our popular Fee Relief extension, allowing your donors to pay Braintree’s transaction fees when they donate — it’s a simple, proven way to increase your average donations.
