What it does
If you already use GetPaid to send invoices or sell items on your WordPress site, you need a payment gateway to actually collect money. This add-on brings Braintree into GetPaid as a payment option. Customers enter their card details and complete the payment directly on your site, so the checkout stays within your own pages. It accepts Visa, MasterCard and debit cards, and the payment form works on phones and tablets as well as desktop screens.
Security is handled with care for card data, and the gateway is described as PCI compliant. It also supports 3D Secure version 2, the extra card verification step many banks now use for online payments. Before going live, you can run test transactions using Braintree test card numbers to confirm everything works as expected. The code is documented and open to customization, which suits developers who want to adjust how payments behave.
Best for
- Small businesses collecting invoice payments through GetPaid
- Freelancers and consultants who bill clients by card
- Developers building custom payment flows on GetPaid sites

Which payment cards can customers use?
The gateway accepts Visa, MasterCard and debit cards. It also supports 3D Secure version 2, so cards that require extra bank verification can go through that step as part of the payment.
