Payment Method

There are multiple types of payment methods. For the attributes of a specific type of payment method response, see one of the following response objects:

Android Pay Card

Payment method objects included in other responses (such as Customer) may be any of these types. For example:

Customer customer = gateway.Customer.Find("the_customer_id");
customer.PaymentMethods; // array of PaymentMethod instances

Server-side response object returned directly or within a successful result object from the following requests:
`Payment Method: Create`
`Payment Method: Find`
`Payment Method: Grant`
`Payment Method: Revoke`
`Payment Method: Update`

Attributes

Tokenstring

An alphanumeric value that references a specific payment method stored in your Vault.

Examples

Default

To determine if a payment method is the default for its customer:

paymentMethod.IsDefault;

Determine payment method type

To determine the type of payment method (e.g. credit card, PayPal), you need to inspect the class of the payment method object.

PaymentMethod paymentMethod = gateway.PaymentMethod.Find("credit-card-token");
paymentMethod.GetType(); // Braintree.CreditCard

PaymentMethod paymentMethod = gateway.PaymentMethod.Find("paypal-account-token");
paymentMethod.GetType(); // Braintree.PayPalAccount

PaymentMethod paymentMethod = gateway.PaymentMethod.Find("apple-pay-token");
paymentMethod.GetType(); // Braintree.ApplePayCard

PaymentMethod paymentMethod = gateway.PaymentMethod.Find("android-pay-token");
paymentMethod.GetType(); // Braintree.AndroidPayCard

Cast payment method to its concrete class

Once you've extracted the payment method from the result object, you need to cast the PaymentMethod object to its concrete class in order to access its attributes.

Result<paymentmethod> result = gateway.PaymentMethod.Update(paymentMethodRequest);
PaymentMethod paymentMethod = result.Target;
paymentMethod.GetType(); // Braintree.CreditCard

CreditCard creditCard = (CreditCard) paymentMethod;
creditCard.LastFour; // 1234
