Credit Card Payments

This feature allows you to integrate credit card payment forms into your web application using Braintree's hosted fields. The code sample demonstrates how to create a client instance and hosted fields for credit card number, CVV, and expiration date.

const braintree = require('braintree-web');
braintree.client.create({
  authorization: 'CLIENT_AUTHORIZATION'
}, function (err, clientInstance) {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }
  braintree.hostedFields.create({
    client: clientInstance,
    styles: {
      'input': {
        'font-size': '14px'
      },
      'input.invalid': {
        'color': 'red'
      },
      'input.valid': {
        'color': 'green'
      }
    },
    fields: {
      number: {
        selector: '#card-number',
        placeholder: '4111 1111 1111 1111'
      },
      cvv: {
        selector: '#cvv',
        placeholder: '123'
      },
      expirationDate: {
        selector: '#expiration-date',
        placeholder: '10/2022'
      }
    }
  }, function (err, hostedFieldsInstance) {
    if (err) {
      console.error(err);
      return;
    }
    hostedFieldsInstance.on('validityChange', function (event) {
      var field = event.fields[event.emittedBy];
      if (field.isValid) {
        console.log('Field is valid');
      } else {
        console.log('Field is invalid');
      }
    });
  });
});

PayPal Payments

This feature allows you to integrate PayPal payments into your web application. The code sample demonstrates how to create a client instance and a PayPal instance, and then tokenize a PayPal payment.

const braintree = require('braintree-web');
braintree.client.create({
  authorization: 'CLIENT_AUTHORIZATION'
}, function (err, clientInstance) {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }
  braintree.paypal.create({
    client: clientInstance
  }, function (err, paypalInstance) {
    if (err) {
      console.error(err);
      return;
    }
    paypalInstance.tokenize({
      flow: 'checkout',
      amount: '10.00',
      currency: 'USD'
    }, function (err, payload) {
      if (err) {
        console.error(err);
        return;
      }
      console.log('PayPal payment tokenized:', payload.nonce);
    });
  });
});

Apple Pay

This feature allows you to integrate Apple Pay into your web application. The code sample demonstrates how to create a client instance and an Apple Pay instance, and then handle the Apple Pay payment process.

const braintree = require('braintree-web');
braintree.client.create({
  authorization: 'CLIENT_AUTHORIZATION'
}, function (err, clientInstance) {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }
  braintree.applePay.create({
    client: clientInstance
  }, function (err, applePayInstance) {
    if (err) {
      console.error(err);
      return;
    }
    var paymentRequest = applePayInstance.createPaymentRequest({
      total: {
        label: 'Your Label',
        amount: '10.00'
      },
      requiredBillingContactFields: ['postalAddress']
    });
    var session = new ApplePaySession(1, paymentRequest);
    session.onvalidatemerchant = function (event) {
      applePayInstance.performValidation({
        validationURL: event.validationURL,
        displayName: 'Your Store'
      }, function (err, merchantSession) {
        if (err) {
          console.error(err);
          session.abort();
          return;
        }
        session.completeMerchantValidation(merchantSession);
      });
    };
    session.onpaymentauthorized = function (event) {
      applePayInstance.tokenize({
        token: event.payment.token
      }, function (err, payload) {
        if (err) {
          console.error(err);
          session.completePayment(ApplePaySession.STATUS_FAILURE);
          return;
        }
        console.log('Apple Pay payment tokenized:', payload.nonce);
        session.completePayment(ApplePaySession.STATUS_SUCCESS);
      });
    };
