The LatePoint Braintree Payments Addon is a premium extension for the LatePoint WordPress booking plugin. It serves as a bridge between your appointment booking system and Braintree (a PayPal service), allowing you to handle complex payment scenarios like credit card vaulting and recurring billing.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
Current Version: 2.1.0 (as of early 2025).
WordPress Compatibility: Requires WordPress 6.5 or higher.
PHP Requirement: 7.4 or higher (PHP 8.x recommended for performance).
LatePoint Core: Requires LatePoint (typically v4.7.0 or higher for full compatibility).
Security: Uses Hosted Fields (PCI-compliant tokenization), meaning sensitive card data never touches your server.
The Braintree addon is more advanced than the standard PayPal/Stripe options because of its specific integration with Braintree’s infrastructure:
Multi-Method Support: Accepts Credit/Debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay through a single integration.
Compliance Ready: Fully supports 3D Secure and SCA (Strong Customer Authentication) for European transactions.
Payment Models:
One-time Payments: Full amount or deposits at the time of booking.
Recurring Payments: Ideal for subscriptions or membership-based services.
Invoices & Payment Links: Generate payment links from the admin dashboard to send to clients.
Transaction Management: Capture, void, and process refunds directly from the LatePoint admin interface without logging into the Braintree gateway.
To get this running, you will need the following credentials from your Braintree Control Panel:
Merchant ID
Public Key
Private Key
Merchant Account ID (needed if you are processing multiple currencies).
