Braintree Express Example

An example Braintree integration for Node in the Express framework.

Setup Instructions

1. Install packages:

   npm install

2. Copy the contents of example.env into a new file named .env and fill in your Braintree API credentials. Credentials can be found by navigating to Account > My User > View Authorizations in the Braintree Control Panel. Full instructions can be found on our support site.

3. Start the server:

   npm start

   By default, this runs the app on port 3000. You can configure the port by setting the environmental variable PORT.

Deploying to Heroku

You can deploy this app directly to Heroku to see the app live. Skip the setup instructions above and click the button below. This will walk you through getting this app up and running on Heroku in minutes.

Running tests

All tests are integration tests. Integration tests make API calls to Braintree and require that you set up your Braintree credentials. You can run this project's integration tests by adding your sandbox API credentials to .env and running the following commands:

# Start your node server
npm start

# Open another shell and run
npm test

Testing Transactions

Sandbox transactions must be made with sample credit card numbers, and the response of a Transaction.sale() call is dependent on the amount of the transaction.
