The Problem

Why does this extension exist?

US and international operators want to accept PayPal as a payment method alongside cards — but PayPal's native checkout doesn't support card vaulting or pre-authorisation flows needed for EV charging. Braintree gives you the full PayPal ecosystem plus a full card vault, combined into one SDK. One integration covers cards, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, and Google Pay with pre-auth support for session-based EV billing.

The Solution

What you get

  • Full card vault with encrypted PCI-compliant storage — save cards for repeat charging sessions without re-entry
  • PayPal wallet integration — let drivers pay with their PayPal balance or linked bank accounts
  • Venmo for US users — social payments accepted alongside cards and PayPal in the same checkout
  • Apple Pay + Google Pay — one-tap payments reducing checkout friction on mobile
  • Drop-in UI — pre-built checkout interface that reduces developer implementation to 1 day
  • 3D Secure 2 for European SCA compliance and Advanced Fraud Protection across all payment types
🎯 Who is this for?

US and international operators wanting PayPal + card acceptance in a single vault with pre-authorisation support for EV charging billing — and the simplicity of a Drop-in UI that works on day one.

Everything included

Card Vault + PayPal + Venmo

Encrypted card vault for returning drivers. PayPal wallet and Venmo accepted alongside cards in the same checkout flow — all managed in one Braintree SDK.

Apple Pay + Google Pay

One-tap mobile payments via Apple Pay and Google Pay. Reduce checkout friction for mobile app and web users — no card entry required for registered devices.

3DS2 SCA Compliance

Full 3D Secure 2 for European SCA requirements. Intelligent exemption management reduces friction for low-risk transactions while remaining fully PSD2 compliant.

Drop-in UI

Pre-built checkout UI that integrates in one day. Handles card entry, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, and Google Pay with a single component — no custom UI required.

Pre-Auth and Capture

Advanced Fraud Protection

Braintree's Advanced Fraud Protection detects device fingerprints, velocity patterns, and stolen card signals across all payment methods before authorisation.

Use Cases

See it in action

How US and international operators use Braintree for unified PayPal and card acceptance.

US CPO accepts PayPal alongside Visa/Mastercard
A US charging network enables Braintree to offer PayPal alongside card payments in the same checkout. PayPal adoption among new drivers is 34% — significantly higher than the industry average because Braintree presents PayPal natively in the checkout flow rather than as a redirect.
Fleet manager uses Venmo for employee reimbursement
A US fleet manager uses Venmo through Braintree to reimburse employees for EV charging expenses. Employees submit charging receipts, the fleet manager approves, and Venmo payments are sent directly. Reimbursement processing time drops from 5 business days to same-day.
Braintree Drop-in UI reduces developer work to 1 day
A charging network operator uses Braintree's Drop-in UI for their custom OASIS HUB checkout. The developer estimated 5 days of custom UI work — Drop-in UI reduced it to less than 1 day. Cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay all functional from day one.
3DS2 SCA for European drivers
A US-headquartered CPO expanding into Europe enables 3DS2 SCA compliance via Braintree for European transactions. The intelligent exemption engine reduces friction — 78% of European transactions are processed without a 3DS challenge, while full SCA compliance is maintained.
Simulated Case Study

US charging network increases PayPal adoption by 34% by switching to Braintree unified checkout

A US EV charging network with 340 locations was previously redirecting users to PayPal's standard checkout for PayPal payments — separate from the card checkout flow. Driver feedback showed 41% of drivers who started the PayPal flow abandoned at the redirect. After switching to Braintree's unified checkout with PayPal natively embedded, PayPal adoption increased from 9% to 34% of all transactions. Card-to-PayPal conversion improved by 28%. Average checkout completion time dropped from 68 seconds to 19 seconds for new drivers.
