We moved from Auth.NET to Braintree, but not in the traditional sense. We use our own merchant account with Braintree's API, something that not many people know is even possible.
Braintree's one-iframe-per-field integration is a beautiful thing. It gives us ultimate flexibility in formatting, bypasses a lot of PCI-DSS compliancy issue, and avoids the impression that the customer is leaving our website to enter payment info.
But we don't have to deal with subscriptions, so ours is a completely different problem space than the article.

- taf2 9y agoThe advantage here is with your own merchant account the fees can be significantly better. Also you get paid typically much faster with settlements happening daily instead of weekly. Assuming stripe PayPal still hold the funds in their banks longer? Before the PayPal acquisition of Braintree it was much more like authorize.net in that it was just a gateway for processing credit cards. Not being a bank account like PayPal and stripe. There is an advantage to having your processor be both an account and a gateway in that you need only one relationship and it's much easier to get started.
- thsowers 9y agoAh I see, Thanks for the info!
