Set Up Your Braintree Gateway

Use this section to create or update your Braintree gateway so it can be used for in-person payments, whether you are a new merchant setting up a gateway for the first time or an existing merchant enabling in-store processing.

For new Braintree merchants

If you do not yet have a Braintree gateway, follow these steps to apply, complete underwriting, and activate your account for in-person processing.

1. Start your application by contacting your PayPal Account Manager or using the Contact our sales team page.
2. Complete identity verification.
3. Provide the required business documentation to Braintree.
4. Braintree completes underwriting for your new account.
5. Braintree activates your account for use.

For existing Braintree merchants

If you already have a Braintree gateway for ecommerce and want to add in-person processing, follow these steps to extend your existing setup instead of creating a new gateway.

1. Notify your PayPal Account Manager that you want to add in-store processing to your existing Braintree gateway.
2. Work with your PayPal team to enable your existing gateway for Verifone processing.
3. Review your business information and update it if needed.
4. Plan your Merchant Account ID structure for in-person processing.
