# Braintree

### Step 2 - Add your Braintree credentials <a href="#braintree-step2-addyourbraintreecredentials" id="braintree-step2-addyourbraintreecredentials"></a>

Now the **Create New Gateway** page will appear. Double check that Braintree is selected in the gateway field and fill in the rest of the info on the gateway profile.

Obtain **merchant\_id**, **public\_key**, and **private\_key** from Braintree (additional notes on this below)

Obtain **merchant\_acct\_id** from Braintree.  This may be optional depending on your setup at Braintree.  The merchant account ID is a unique identifier for a specific merchant account at Braintree. It is used to specify which merchant account to use when creating a transaction. It is not the same value as **merchant\_id**.

Choose to process with Braintree native 3DS using the **secure3DS** box. 3DS requires the checkout page to support [standard redirect handling](/crm/gateway-setup/direct-api-3ds-instructions.md) (not required if using Checkout Champ hosted pages).

Check the **storeInVaultOnSuccess** box if you need one-click upsells or recurring billing on this gateway. This enables the customer vault at Braintree.

Choose to **sendProductDetails**

Choose to use Braintree’s test server. Be sure to uncheck **useTestServer** when ready for live traffic.

Enter **Title** and **Descriptor**
