Braintree

Description

Braintree is a full-stack payment platform by PayPal that supports credit cards, digital wallets, recurring billing, and more.

The Braintree activity enables secure integration with the Braintree Payment Gateway for performing various payment operations. It supports both transaction-related tasks (like creating payments, querying transactions) and data retrieval based on a time range or filters.

Use case:
In a financial reporting workflow, this activity can retrieve all successful transactions for the last 30 days. The results can then be summarized using Group By and uploaded to a finance dashboard or exported to Excel.
