  • Amount taken from the invoice
  • Applied to the right invoice
  • Card details handled by Braintree

Subscriptions billed through Braintree

Bill recurring customers through Braintree subscriptions, matched to your merchant account and plan. Each renewal is checked with Braintree before it's recorded.

Every payment matched to its invoice

Invoice Crowd reads the transaction from Braintree and checks your merchant account, the invoice, the amount and the currency. Transactions are recorded once Braintree submits them for settlement.

  • Right account and mode
  • Same invoice, amount and currency
  • Confirmed as paid by Braintree

Nothing slips through

If the invoice changes after checkout starts, a confirmed payment waits in Payments Needing Review. You apply it to the invoice, keep it as customer credit, or refund it.

How does Invoice Crowd confirm a Braintree payment?
