Transparent Redirect

Note

The integration method outlined below is deprecated. Learn more about upgrading to the Braintree SDKs.

These are the HTML fields that can be used when creating transactions using Transparent Redirect.

HTML fields

id can be whatever you want, only name matters for Braintree

transaction[customer][first_name]
transaction[customer][last_name]
transaction[customer][company]
transaction[customer][email]
transaction[customer][phone]
transaction[customer][fax]
transaction[customer][website]
transaction[credit_card][cardholder_name]
transaction[credit_card][number]
transaction[credit_card][cvv]
transaction[credit_card][expiration_date]
transaction[credit_card][expiration_month]
transaction[credit_card][expiration_year]

For expiration date, you can either use a single field,transaction[credit_card][expiration_date] or separate fields,transaction[credit_card][expiration_month] andtransaction[credit_card][expiration_year].

transaction[billing][first_name]
transaction[billing][last_name]
transaction[billing][company]
transaction[billing][street_address]
transaction[billing][extended_address]
transaction[billing][locality]
transaction[billing][region]
transaction[billing][postal_code]
transaction[billing][country_code_alpha2]
transaction[billing][country_code_alpha3]
transaction[billing][country_code_numeric]
transaction[billing][country_name]

For country, you only need to use one of the four fields for specifying country.

transaction[shipping][first_name]
transaction[shipping][last_name]
transaction[shipping][company]
transaction[shipping][street_address]
transaction[shipping][extended_address]
transaction[shipping][locality]
transaction[shipping][region]
transaction[shipping][postal_code]
transaction[shipping][country_code_alpha2]
transaction[shipping][country_code_alpha3]
transaction[shipping][country_code_numeric]
transaction[shipping][country_name]

We only accept a specific list of countries so you will want to make country a select field.

Protected fields

Any parameters that you want to submit without letting your users select the value should be included in thetr_data. For example, if you’re building a donation site and asking users to enter the amount they would like to donate, you would want to make amount an HTML field.

Otherwise, to ensure a specific amount, add it to thetr_data.

tr_data = Braintree::TransparentRedirect.transaction_data(
  :redirect_url => "http://example.com",
  :transaction => {
    :type => "sale",
    :amount => "10.00"
  }
)

Do not create amount as a hidden field. Doing so would allow users to tamper with the value. Usingtr_data ensures that the parameters can't be tampered with.

A few other fields may be included either way. For example, if you want to specify whether a transaction should be stored in the vault or not, pass thestore_in_vault option intr_data. If you have a process where you want to ask the user whether they would like their credit card kept on file for easy checkout on future purchases, then you can exposestore_in_vault as a checkbox input.

Specifying merchant account:

transaction[merchant_account_id]

Related to storing in vault:

transaction[options][add_billing_address_to_payment_method]
transaction[options][store_shipping_address_in_vault]
transaction[options][store_in_vault_on_success]

Mandatory protected fields

These fields must be included intr_data and can't be passed as a regular input field.

transaction[type]
transaction[order_id]
transaction[customer][id]
transaction[credit_card][token]
transaction[options][submit_for_settlement]
transaction[customer_id]
transaction[payment_method_token]

If you’re creating a new customer and storing it in the vault, and you want to specify the customer id, usetransaction[customer][id]. If you’re creating a transaction using a customer that’s already in the vault, specify the id of the customer to charge usingtransaction[customer_id]. Similarly with credit cards,transaction[credit_card][token] is for specifying the token of a new credit card.transaction[payment_method_token] is for referencing an existing payment method in the vault to charge it.

Custom fields

Custom fields need to be configured in the Control Panel. Once they are, they can be submitted by creating form fields namedtransaction[custom_fields][name_that_was_configured_in_control_panel]
