Drop-in UI

Overview

Important

Starting July 14, 2025 the Drop-in SDK will move to a deprecated status and we will no longer make any updates to this SDK. Processing will be supported for 1 year after the deprecation date, but you should upgrade immediately to avoid any disruption.

Starting July 14, 2026 the Drop-in SDK will move to an unsupported status and will no longer supported by Braintree developers or Braintree Support. Processing for unsupported SDKs can be suspended at any time.

Please migrate to the Braintree SDK to continue processing and receiving updates.

Important

The SSL certificates for Braintree Mobile (iOS and Android) SDKs are set to expire on March 30, 2026. This will impact existing versions of the SDK in published versions of your app. To reduce the impact, upgrade the Android Drop-In SDK in your app to 6.16.0+ for the new SSL certifications. If you do not decommission your app versions that include the older SDK versions or force upgrade your app with the updated certificates by the expiration date, 100% of your customer traffic will fail.

Our Drop-in UI is a complete, ready-made payment UI that offers a quick and easy way to securely accept payments. The UI includes a card entry form and, if enabled, PayPal, Google Pay, and Venmo buttons. When a user successfully completes the UI, your client code obtains a payment method nonce for use on your server. Android,client,screenshots

The Drop-in UI is the quickest way to start accepting payments. Below is a list of features:

Pre-formatted payment form
Support for 23 languages

If the Drop-in UI doesn't fit your needs, develop your own custom integration using our client SDKs to accept credit cards, PayPal, and other available payment method types. This allows you full control over the checkout process. Using our native mobile SDKs, you can typically qualify for the SAQ A PCI compliance form with a custom integration.

Note

By choosing a custom integration you will be responsible for the tokenization process for credit cards, PayPal, and Venmo.
