Braintree is a payment service provider owned by PayPal. It allows you to accept online payments from customers in your applications by providing you with client-side and server-side Software Development Kits (SDKs).

This course explains Braintree APIs to create a transaction. The client SDK provides tools and techniques to securely collect payment information, while the server SDK consists of tools to enable secure processing of the collected payment information. You will learn both the client-side and server-side implementations in detail. After that, the course will provide hands-on experience of creating a transaction using Braintree APIs. Finally, you will interact with a demo Fruit Buying application written in React that accepts payments using the Braintree gateway.

Getting Started with Braintree API

Braintree provides us with different client-side SDKs such as Android, iOS, and JavaScript. These SDKs allow us to integrate Braintree functionality at the front-end of our applications. 

The workflow of the events performed by our client using the Braintree SDK is shown below:

1. Token request sent to the server
2. Client token received from the server
3. Payment information sent to Braintree to get a *payment method nonce*
4. *Payment method nonce* received from Braintree
5. *Payment method nonce* sent to the server

Follow step-by-step instructions to set up a client application for Braintree.
