Summary

Online payments have become increasingly essential for websites, and Braintree offers a platform to simplify this process for developers by providing easy integration of payment systems into apps and websites. Braintree's JavaScript client SDK supports various payment methods, ensuring PCI compliance and security for transactions. The SDK offers two primary integration methods: Hosted Fields, which allows for a customizable payment form, and Drop-in, a pre-built UI that simplifies the payment process and supports multiple languages and payment methods like PayPal and Apple Pay. The Drop-in approach is the recommended and faster option for integrating payments, as it requires minimal code and is SAQ A PCI compliant. This tutorial guides users through integrating Braintree into a React application, detailing the process of installing necessary dependencies, setting up authorization through Braintree's tokenization, and implementing both integration methods, with a focus on the Drop-in UI for its simplicity and immediate compliance with industry standards.
