Overview

Credit cards are the most commonly accepted payment method type and are enabled automatically when you sign up for a merchant account with Braintree.

If you want to use your own card entry UI to accept payments instead of Drop-in, you can use the Braintree Client SDK to perform card tokenization.

note

To perform client-side credit card tokenization, you'll first need to generate a client token on your server. See Hello, Server for a complete walkthrough of creating a client token and Client Setup for an example of requesting the client token.
