Braintree Unleashed: Exploring the 2.4.7 Adobe Commerce Release for Braintree  Merchants!

Have you heard the buzz about the latest Braintree release for Magento? Well, hold onto your hats because 2.4.7 Adobe Commerce is here with a boatload of goodies packed into it, including new features and functionality as part of the built in Braintree extension! 

Braintree Merchants can benefit from several bug fixes and most importantly 16 brand new features

Let’s dive into the juicy highlights.

Express Payments at the Top of the Checkout 

Who has time for a lengthy checkout process? Certainly not us! With the new Braintree release, we’re putting express payment methods right at the top of the checkout page. PayPal, PayLater, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are all just a click away, making transacting t swift and efficient, reducing checkout abandonment rates and overall ensuring a fast and seamless experience for every customer.

Vaulting Made Easy 

Say goodbye to the hassle of entering payment details every single time you make a purchase. Now, logged-in customers can securely vault not only their Card and Paypal account, but also their  Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, and ACH accounts for future transactions. Creating a much faster checkout experience for returning customers.  

In addition to this customers can also vault credit/debit cards and Paypal accounts via the account area, without the need to put through a new transaction. This is particularly beneficial for any merchants which have a subscription model and whose customers have a need to update any stored payment methods for expired cards etc to ensure their subscription is not disrupted.  

Frictionless Transactions 

We’ve all been there – ready to make a purchase, only to be bombarded with endless verification steps. Well, not anymore! With Braintree’s new frictionless transactions feature, we’re streamlining the payment process by only challenging customers for 3DS verification when absolutely necessary. That means fewer hoops to jump through and more time to enjoy your shopping spree!

Dispute Webhooks 

With Braintree’s dispute webhooks, any transaction disputes are seamlessly passed to Magento, allowing you to easily track and manage them right from the Magento sales order grid. It’s dispute resolution made simple!

And that’s not all! We’ve also got Braintree release notes and support links conveniently integrated into the Magento configuration, making it easier than ever to stay up-to-date with the latest enhancements and get the support you need when you need it.

Plus, with GraphQL support for all Braintree payment methods (except Venmo), you can now expose even more configurations for your headless applications. Talk about flexibility!
