Give BrainTree Gateway 2.0.0
Wordpress Plugins Give 4.8 (562 reviews)
Give BrainTree Gateway is a WordPress plugin developed by Give, the makers of the Give donation plugin. This plugin connects your WordPress site to your Braintree.com merchant account, allowing you to accept credit card payments directly on your website instead of redirecting donors to an external payment page. The plugin acts as a bridge between Give's donation forms and Braintree's payment processing infrastructure. When a supporter completes a donation form, the payment details go straight to Braintree for authorization and settlement, and the funds arrive in your Braintree account. Since this is an extension of Give, you need the Give plugin installed first. The gateway is designed for organizations that already run fundraising through Give and want to add Braintree as a payment option without changing their donation workflow or sending supporters off-site. Once connected, donors type their card information straight into your existing Give forms, which keeps the experience familiar and reduces friction compared to being sent elsewhere.

Give BrainTree Gateway supports a wide range of credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, and Diners Club. That broad coverage means most supporters can pay with the card they already carry, regardless of whether they are donating from home or from another country. The plugin is also quick to get running. Setting it up takes only a few minutes, provided you have an active Braintree account. You upload the plugin file, activate it, and link it to your Braintree account through the Give settings screen. There is no need to write custom code or hire a developer to make the connection work. After the initial configuration, the gateway sits quietly behind your donation forms and processes every transaction automatically. The setup process is deliberately straightforward, since the plugin is built to work within the standard Give donation flow, and Braintree handles the technical side of card validation and payment routing.
From the donor's point of view, nothing about your site has to change. The card form appears as part of your existing Give donation pages, so supporters enter their name, card number, expiration date, and security code right where they already are. There is no bouncing over to a Braintree-branded page and then being sent back afterward. That keeps the donation process quick and reduces the chances of someone abandoning the form partway through. The gateway works with the donation forms you already have in place, so you are not rebuilding anything or asking your audience to learn a new process. For site owners, the main advantage is that Braintree handles the card processing side of each transaction. That is what allows the whole checkout to happen on your own pages without sending donors away, so the site keeps its own look and flow from start to finish. For a fundraising site, that consistency matters.
The plugin is distributed as a standard WordPress .zip file, so installing it follows the same routine as any other plugin. You download the package, go to the WordPress admin dashboard, choose Plugins, then Add New, and upload the file. After activation, the gateway appears in your Give settings where you can connect your Braintree account. The package you receive is the exact build produced by the author of the plugin, not a modified or repackaged version. For anyone running Give who wants to accept credit card donations through Braintree, this gateway fills that role directly. It adds Braintree as a payment option, brings the supported card brands into your donation forms, and handles the processing side through Braintree's own system. There are no extra steps for donors and no separate payment page to maintain. Once the connection is made, donations flow through Braintree while donors stay on your pages from start to finish, and you manage the whole setup from your WordPress dashboard.
