Braintree's Developer Community - Making You Look Good

We thought it would be worth the while to make a more formal ‘introduction’ post to lay out what we’re hoping to accomplish with our newly launched Developer Community – and get you excited that we’re coming to the rescue in one of the most challenging and difficult industries in existence – credit card processing.

What We Do

First, a little bit about what we do. Braintree is a comprehensive provider of payment processing solutions. We provide businesses everything they need to accept payment from customers – a one-stop-shop. We provide the merchant account for credit card processing, e-check, ACH and EFT processing, payment gateway, virtual terminal, risk and fraud managment, remost storage of credit card information, simplified PCI Compliance and alternative payments.

What makes us different?

Our core belief is this: we can provide more value to a business than any other provider in the industry. That applies to merchants doing $50 million a month and those who may be doing less than $1 million per year.

• We’re a comprehensive provider, it’s easier and more efficient to work with one company for everything.
• We feel that our technology and solutions are among the best in the business. It’s dynamic, robust, and flexible.
• We’re straight shooters and highly responsive. We’re 100% transparent in pricing, quick to respond to customer needs, and try to make this industry manageable for our customers.

Purpose of this site

Our entire objective with this site is to make you, the developer, look good. Whether you’re working on payments for your own application or for the company you work for, we want to help you implement the most secure, robust, easier, and scalable payments application. In combination with our competitive prices, we hope that at the end of the day you’ll agree that you would be willing to pay more for the value we offer, but since you don’t, you will then be motivated to refer others to us. We’re going to be actively posting material to the public blog and also the users only forum including best practices, tools to make integration easier, and tips for getting the most out of our API.

Some other things about us

We’re a member of the PCI DSS Security Council, and have what we believe is the smartest approach to PCI DSS Compliance. Our CEO, Bryan Johnson maintains a blog about the industry trying to make the complex simple and understandable. I’m new to Braintree, and I’m responsible for all things developer community. I’m an active member of the Ruby community, but I’m eagerly looking forward in helping developers using all languages and frameworks look good.

What you can help us out on

We would love to hear your thoughts on what we can do to make your life easier and better. We are a dedicated resource to the developer community and want to become a destination to help you do what you do better, quicker, and more impressive. If you have any questions or comments, send a note to developer AT NO-SPAM getbraintree.com. I’m really looking forward to working with all of you.
