Braintree Quick Start

Note: Broadleaf Commerce currently offers integration with Braintree through a commercial integration module. To obtain this third party integration or if you have any questions about this module, please contact us at info@broadleafcommerce.org

Versions : 2.0.0-GA

Broadleaf Commerces offers an out-of-the-box Braintree solution that requires little configuration and is easily set up.
The quick start solution implements the [[Transparent Redirect | https://www.braintreepayments.com/tour/pci-compliance]] model offered by the Braintree API.
This implementation should be useful for those with a simple checkout flow. For a more customized solution, please see Braintree Advance Configuration.

You must have completed the Braintree Environment Setup before continuing

1) Adding Braintree Support

First, you will need to add the quick-start Braintree application context bl-braintree-applicationContext.xml to your web.xml.
Your patchConfigLocations should look something like this:

    <context-param>
        <param-name>patchConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>
          classpath:/bl-open-admin-contentClient-applicationContext.xml
          classpath:/bl-cms-contentClient-applicationContext.xml
          classpath:/bl-braintree-applicationContext.xml
          classpath:/applicationContext.xml
          /WEB-INF/applicationContext-datasource.xml
          /WEB-INF/applicationContext-email.xml
          /WEB-INF/applicationContext-security.xml
          /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
        </param-value>
    </context-param>

IMPORTANT: The order in which the application contexts are specified matters to the merge process. Make sure the "bl-braintree-applicationContext.xml" is specified BEFORE your applicationContext.xml that defines your "blConfiguration" bean. If you have customized your Runtime Environment Properties or Checkout Workflow, make sure to add this file in the appropriate order so that Broadleaf will pick up the the correct bean.

You will also need to add a component scan to your applicationContext-servlet.xml:

    <context:component-scan base-package="com.broadleafcommerce.vendor.braintree"/>

2) Make your CheckoutController extend BroadleafBraintreeController

Next, you will need to create a basic controller that extends BroadleafBraintreeController to provide default @RequestMappings for your application.
Here is an example controller with the minimum amount of code needed to get Braintree integrated.
This quick start solution only offers support for an Authorize and Debit transaction. See Braintree Advance Configuration for further customization.

@Controller
public class CheckoutController extends BroadleafBraintreeController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/checkout")
    public String checkout(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Model model) {
        return super.checkout(request, response, model);
    }

    @Override
    @RequestMapping(value = "/process")
    public String processBraintreeAuthorizeAndDebit(Model model, @RequestParam String id, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws CheckoutException, PricingException {
        return super.processBraintreeAuthorizeAndDebit(model, id, request, response);
    }

}

3) Construct the HTML for the dynamic Braintree form

Finally, you will need to contruct the form that you will send via transparent redirect. The checkout() method defined above will add the necessary attributes on the Spring Model object (i.e. trUrl and trData)

Here's a list of all the [[HTML fields | https://www.braintreepayments.com/docs/java/transactions/tr_fields]] that can be sent to Braintree.
Your page may look something like this:

<form th:action="${trUrl}" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="tr_data" th:value="${trData}" />
    <div class="left_content">
        <h3>Billing Information</h3>

        <div class="form30">
            <label for="firstname">First Name</label> <input type="text" class="field30" name="transaction[billing][first_name]" />
        </div>
        <div class="form30">
            <label for="lastname">Last Name</label> <input type="text" class="field30" name="transaction[billing][last_name]" />
        </div>  
        <div class="form50">
            <label for="address1">Address</label> <input type="text" class="field50" name="transaction[billing][street_address]" />
        </div>
        <div class="form50 margin20">
            <label for="address2">Address 2</label> <input type="text" class="field50" name="transaction[billing][extended_address]" />
        </div>
        <div class="form30">

Done!
