Add useful, advanced subscription management tools to Braintree
SubscriptionBridge and Braintree

Why Braintree?

Braintree is a very popular, full featured payment system: it provides you with both a payment gateway and a merchant account, and charges zero fees on the first $50,000 in transactions.

Why do I need both?

Braintree contains basic recurring billing features. SubscriptionBridge adds a number of advanced subscription management and customer service features to Braintree recurring billing. In a nutshell, here is how the two systems work together:

  • Credit cards are stored securely in the Braintree payment vault
  • SubscriptionBridge information is stored in SubscriptionBridge
  • SubscriptionBridge "calls" Braintree to process recurring and one-time payments as needed
