Frequently Asked Questions

Is Braintree affected by PayPal outages?

Braintree is owned by PayPal but operates on separate infrastructure. PayPal outages may affect PayPal Checkout through Braintree, but direct card processing typically remains unaffected. Check both status pages during issues.

Why are Braintree payments declining?

Payment declines can be processor-related or card-specific. Check our status above for platform issues. If Braintree is up, review the decline reason in your Control Panel. Common causes include CVV mismatches, insufficient funds, or fraud filters.

Does Braintree downtime affect my subscriptions?

Subscription billing attempts during outages may fail and will be retried according to your retry settings. Braintree's subscription engine handles retries automatically. Check your subscription settings and ensure retry logic is configured properly.

How do I handle Braintree webhook delays?

Braintree webhooks may be delayed during outages but are eventually delivered. Implement idempotent webhook handlers and don't rely solely on webhooks for critical operations. Use the API to verify transaction status when needed.
