Braintree has created a simple plugin that allows Magento Enterprise and Magento Community users to quickly and easily process credit card payments through the flexible and scalable Braintree payment gateway.

Magento users will be able to store customers’ sensitive credit card information in the Braintree Vault. Unlike other out-of-the-box payment gateways that integrate with Magento, Braintree offers credit card vault storage, a feature which enables merchants to reduce their PCI compliance burden by over 90 percent and helps merchants drive higher recurring sales.

Braintree integrations are available for many other online shopping carts, including Shopify, LemonStand, Ubercart and OpenCart, as well as with the Magento Go eCommerce platform.

“This offering will give thousands of ecommerce businesses new and better options when it comes to payment processing,” said Bill Ready, CEO of Braintree. “By keeping all credit card data secure in our Vault, we make PCI compliancemuch simpler and easier for merchants to achieve. The Braintree Vault also allows merchants to implement a card-on-file feature which helps merchants increase their conversion rate at checkout.”

Braintree’s explosive growth earned it a spot on last year’s Inc. 500 list as the nation’s 47th fastest-growing private company – and first in the payments processing industry. Braintree currently processes more than $4 billion in credit card volume annually.

Braintree’s client list reads like a Who’s Who of influential technology companies, including LivingSocial, 37signals, OpenTable, Fab.com, GitHub, Airbnb, Heroku, Engine Yard, Animoto, Shopify and HotelTonight. Braintree attracted a $34 million Series A investment from Accel Partners in June 2011 after founder Bryan Johnson profitably bootstrapped the company for four years. Accel is one of the most respected venture firms in the world and has invested in such well-known companies as Facebook, Groupon, Dropbox and Rovio, the creator of Angry Birds.
