URGENT ACTION REQUIRED

Ensure Your Braintree Integration Continues Working

Update Required Before June 30, 2025

The SSL certificates for all Braintree SDKs are set to expire on June 30, 2025.

If you do not update your SDK version or manually apply the new certificate, your store will no longer be able to process payments using the Braintree integration.

This affects all Adobe Commerce and Magento merchants using the Braintree integration.

You can read the official announcement from PayPal.

What You Need to Do

The action required depends on your Magento or Adobe Commerce version. Follow the appropriate instructions below for your version:

Magento 2.4.4 and Later

✅ Recommended Solution

The official Adobe update on April 8, 2025, will include an upgrade to the Braintree SDK, which includes the new certificate. If you can apply this update before June 30, 2025, this is the preferred solution.

⚠️ Alternative Solution

If you cannot update to the Adobe patch before June 30th, you should apply this GENE patch as an interim solution. It will only update the expiring certificate, and will be enough to prevent disruption of service.

Download the patch: GENE SSL Certificate Patch (Magento 2.4.4 – 2.4.7)

Magento 2.4.0 to 2.4.3

❌ These versions are unsupported and will not receive the official Adobe update.

✅ Suggested Solution

The GENE patch is tested for Magento 2.4.4+, but should work for 2.4.0 – 2.4.3 since the certificate location has not changed. Thorough testing is recommended before deploying to production.

Older Magento 2 Versions (Up to 2.3) Using the GENE Braintree Extension

⚠️ The GENE Braintree extension is no longer actively maintained, but we have released a patch to update the SSL certificate.

✅ Required Action

You must update to GENE Braintree version 4.0.10 to ensure continued payment processing.

If you are using a different Braintree extension (not GENE Braintree), you must manually update the SSL certificate.

📥 Manually replace the SSL certificate file:

• Locate: api_braintreegateway_com.ca.crt

• Download the new certificate: New Braintree SSL Certificate

Magento 1 Merchants

Magento 1 has been EOL (End-of-Life) for several years, but you can still apply the certificate manually.

✅ Required Action

Find and replace the existing SSL certificate file with the new one.

📂 File Location (for GENE Braintree users):

lib/Gene/Braintree/braintree/braintree_php/lib/ssl/api_braintreegateway_com.ca.crt

Download the new certificate: New Braintree SSL Certificate
