Review Summary

Braintree Direct is generally praised for its easy integration, particularly with payment gateways and existing systems. Users find it simple to make charges, refunds, and handle disputes. However, a common complaint is the lack of robust customer support, with many users experiencing long wait times or unanswered requests. Concerns also arise regarding limited refund options and clunky analytics, with some users finding the platform overly complicated for mass transactions. Some users also mention occasional glitches and a lack of transparency regarding chargebacks. Overall, while Braintree Direct offers user-friendly payment processing, it struggles with customer support and certain features like analytics.

Pros

  • BrainTree provides seamless integration with major platforms.
  • Offers multiple payment methods and easy transaction handling.
  • Great for businesses looking for reliable subscription management.

Cons

  • Customer support is often unresponsive and ineffective.
  • Frequent issues with fraud detection leading to declined payments.

"Easy to use payment processing platform!"
What do you like best about Braintree Direct?

I love the ability to easily refund/void transactions as well as search for specific details to locate a customer's transaction~

What do you dislike about Braintree Direct?

I wish you did not have to search by the date in order to find the transaction. I wish regardless it would show the transaction if you put in the transaction ID. It took a little while to figure out what the issue was and if the transaction ID was from October but you are in the month of November, you need to change the dates ahead of time.

What problems is Braintree Direct solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to take care of customers payments needs and transactional inquiries.

"Great Merchant Account"
What do you like best about Braintree Direct?

Free virtual terminal, free gateway and well documented api. The discount rate is competitive comparing to stripe and squareup and other merchant accounts using payment gateway, such as authorize.net...and merchants can accept different types of credit cards, much better than authorize.net.

What do you dislike about Braintree Direct?

Have to write api scripts to connect with shopping cart but it is easy. Other than that, nothing to not like it about. However, some large transaction requires manual approval by their risk department.

Recommendations to others considering Braintree Direct:

It has many free features without nonsense fees, unlike regular merchant account but it is a regular merchant account.

What problems is Braintree Direct solving and how is that benefiting you?

Save lots of fees on processing credit cards and customers can always find their payment receipts.

"Excellent Payment Processor"
What do you like best about Braintree Direct?

It's simple, well organized, and makes sense. There are so many traceable ways to find and figure information, and the program gives you multiple entry points.

What do you dislike about Braintree Direct?

It can be hard to navigate for that same reason. Tracing information down might be hard if you don't have enough on your end, but it does make that more accurate. Something very important when dealing with money and payment processing.

Recommendations to others considering Braintree Direct:

I can only compare Braintree as a payment processor to Stripe, and it's head and heels better than their platform.

What problems is Braintree Direct solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly, it's utilized for charges, refunds, and setting new payment users.

What do you dislike about Braintree Direct?

I would like to see the pricing come down just a little, especially with startups.

Recommendations to others considering Braintree Direct:

Great product and I know there are others in the space like Stripe. Braintree has all the great features and simple Paypal integration.

What problems is Braintree Direct solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provided us an easy payments processor.

"Best Customer Service of Any Company, Ever"
What do you like best about Braintree Direct?

Customer support is incredible. You call, an engineer answers. No wait. Its unheard of. Nothing makes me hate or love a company more than competent customer service. This is why I despise Comcast.

What do you dislike about Braintree Direct?

Ruby testing support is grim. Fake Braintree is no longer maintained by ThoughtBot and is missing a ton of key features having to do with recurring billing. I tried extending the library myself but it is beyond my abilities and time.

Recommendations to others considering Braintree Direct:

If you're using Ruby, and are building a subscription based app, and are really concerned with testing your app, I might consider stripe because Fake Braintree is lacking a whole slew of featurres.

What problems is Braintree Direct solving and how is that benefiting you?

...accepting money in my app/website on a monthly/subscription basis.

"Excellent payment dispersal and transaction fee tools"
What do you like best about Braintree Direct?

As someone running services that take payments for account-holder, the features that Braintree provides with sub-accounts to a main account, and the ability to place a transaction fee that goes to the main account on transaction undertaken by the sub-accounts is killer!

What do you dislike about Braintree Direct?

There aren't any features of braintree that I dislike. There documentation is excellent. Their provided libraries and third-party support are great. If anything, I don't like the aesthetic of their v.zero marketing, but that is irrelevant!

Recommendations to others considering Braintree Direct:

You might check out other services such as Stripe.com or Recurly if you're looking for a simple recurring billing solution. Braintree Payments is so much more!

What problems is Braintree Direct solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I mentioned in the "What I like best" section, the ability to place my own transaction percentage fees on transactions undertaken by sub-accounts is something I hadn't run into elsewhere and which made offering some of the donation/contribution services via the Braintree Payments system, worthwhile.
