Client-Side Implementation
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
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.
Setup
Before you can add PayPal:- Integrate the Braintree iOS SDK into your app
- Create, verify, and link your PayPal account in the Braintree Control Panel
Get the SDK
CocoaPods
Include Braintree in your podfile:
- Ruby
pod 'Braintree'Swift Package Manager
Include the BraintreePayPal and PayPalDataCollector frameworks.
Carthage
Include the BraintreeCore,BraintreePayPal, BraintreeDataCollector, and PPRiskMagnes frameworks.
Showing a PayPal button
Initiaiting the PayPal authorization flow will present and dismiss an
ASWebAuthenticationSession from your top-most view.
Using our Payment Buttons
You can add PayPal payment buttons in your app through the Braintree SDK. The SDK will handle the loading and disable state of the button, call the `tokenize` methods with your request, and allow you a seamless branded experience in your mobile apps.
The SDK handles the complete payment flow internally, from launching the PayPal authentication to tokenizing the result, so you only need to provide your request configuration and handle the final nonce.
Here's how to integrate using SwiftUI:
- Swift
let payPalRequest = BTPayPalCheckoutRequest(amount: "10.00")
let payPalButtonView = PayPalButton(
authorization: authorization,
request: payPalRequest,
color: .blue, // choose between `.blue`, `.black`, `.white`
width: 300
) { nonce, error in
if let nonce {
// handle successful PayPal payment
} else if let error {
// handle PayPal payment error
}
}Here's how to integrate using UIKit (wrapped SwiftUI):
- Swift
let payPalRequest = BTPayPalCheckoutRequest(amount: "10.00")
let payPalButtonView = PayPalButton(
authorization: authorization,
request: payPalRequest,
color: .blue,
width: 300
) { nonce, error in
if let nonce {
// handle successful PayPal payment
} else if let error {
// handle PayPal payment error
}
}
let hostingController = UIHostingController(rootView: payPalbuttonView)
addChild(hostingController)Collecting additional data
You can gather additional data about your customers as they complete the payment process.
