README
Braintree Ruby library
The Braintree gem provides integration access to the Braintree Gateway.
Please Note
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Council has mandated that early versions of TLS be retired from service. All organizations that handle credit card information are required to comply with this standard. As part of this obligation, Braintree is updating its services to require TLS 1.2 for all HTTPS connections. Braintree will also require HTTP/1.1 for all connections. Please see our technical documentation for more information.
Installation
gem install braintree
Or add to your Gemfile:
gem 'braintree'
Optionally, you may also include LibXML for more performant XML parsing. If LibXML is not present, REXML will be used instead.
gem 'libxml-ruby'
Dependencies
- builder
The Braintree Ruby SDK is tested against Ruby versions 2.6, 2.7 and 3.0.
The Ruby core development community has released End-of-Life branches for Ruby versions lower than 2.6, which are no longer receiving security updates. As a result, Braintree no longer supports these versions of Ruby. We have updated our gem specifications to reflect these updates.
Versions
Braintree employs a deprecation policy for our SDKs. For more information on the statuses of an SDK check our developer docs. Minimum supported versions are also available in our developer docs.
Major version number | Status | Released | Deprecated | Unsupported |
---|---|---|---|---|
4.x.x | Active | May 2021 | TBA | TBA |
3.x.x | Inactive | October 2020 | May 2023 | May 2024 |

Quick Start Example
require "rubygems"
require "braintree"
gateway = Braintree::Gateway.new(
:environment => :sandbox,
:merchant_id => "your_merchant_id",
:public_key => "your_public_key",
:private_key => "your_private_key",
)
result = gateway.transaction.sale(
:amount => "1000.00",
:payment_method_nonce => nonce_from_the_client,
:options => {
:submit_for_settlement => true
}
)
if result.success?
puts "success!: #{result.transaction.id}"
elsif result.transaction
puts "Error processing transaction:"
puts " code: #{result.transaction.processor_response_code}"
puts " text: #{result.transaction.processor_response_text}"
else
p result.errors
end
You retrieve your merchant_id
, public_key
, and private_key
when signing up for Braintree. Signing up for a sandbox account is easy, free, and instant.
Bang Methods
Most methods have a bang and a non-bang version (e.g. gateway.customer.create
and gateway.customer.create!
).
The non-bang version will either return a SuccessfulResult
or an ErrorResult
. The bang version will either return
the created or updated resource, or it will raise a ValidationsFailed
exception.
Example of using non-bang method:
result = gateway.customer.create(:first_name => "Josh")
if result.success?
puts "Created customer #{result.customer.id}"
else
puts "Validations failed"
result.errors.for(:customer).each do |error|
puts error.message
end
end
Example of using bang method:
begin
customer = gateway.customer.create!(:first_name => "Josh")
puts "Created customer #{customer.id}"
rescue Braintree::ValidationsFailed
puts "Validations failed"
end
We recommend using the bang methods when you assume that the data is valid and do not expect validations to fail. Otherwise, we recommend using the non-bang methods.
Developing (Docker)
The Makefile
and Dockerfile
will build an image containing the dependencies and drop you to a terminal where you can run tests.
make
Linting
The Rakefile includes commands to run Rubocop. To run the linter commands use rake: rake lint
.
Tests
The unit specs can be run by anyone on any system, but the integration specs are meant to be run against a local development
server of our gateway code. These integration specs are not meant for public consumption and will likely fail if run on
your system. To run unit tests use rake: rake test:unit
.
Suppress Braintree Logs
To suppress logs from Braintree on environments where they are considered noise (e.g. test) use the following configuration:
logger = Logger.new("/dev/null")
logger.level = Logger::INFO
gateway.config.logger = logger
