Payment Gateway (Braintree) Integration with Zoho Creator & Zoho Books

Connecting the Dots: How Zoho Creator, Braintree, and Zoho Books Work Together

Here's a breakdown of how these trio integration works:

1. Generating Payment Links with Braintree:

When you send a quote to your customer, you can now include a secure payment link generated by Braintree. This means your customers can securely pay through Braintree using their preferred payment method (Debit card, credit card, digital wallet,etc.). No more chasing down payments or dealing with delayed transactions. This simplifies payment collection and enhances the customer experience.

2. Capturing Payment Transactions details:

Whenever a customer makes a payment through the Braintree link, the details of the transaction(like Amount paid, Payment method used, customer name, email address, billing and shipping address,Transaction date and time,etc) are automatically captured within your Zoho Creator app.This eliminates the need for manual data entry, saving you time and enables you to track easily and manage all transactions made by your customers, providing you with valuable insights.

3. Automated Invoice Creation and Updates in Zoho Books for the Braintree transactions:

Zoho Books automatically pulls in the transaction information from Braintree. This triggers two key actions:

• Automatic Invoice Creation: No more creating invoices manually! Zoho Books automatically creates a new invoice for each Braintree transaction, ensuring your records are always up-to-date.

• Existing Invoice Updates: If a customer makes a partial payment on an existing invoice, Zoho Books automatically updates the amount due, giving you a real-time view of your finances.

With Braintree transactions automatically feeding into Zoho Books, you get a real-time picture of your cash flow. This empowers you to make informed financial decisions and avoid any cash flow surprises.

4. Integration of Braintree and Zoho Books to automate transaction matching:

But To reconciling transactions, we've gone a step further by creating a custom script within Zoho Books. This script automates the process of matching Braintree transactions with their corresponding invoices in Zoho Books

Any unmatched transactions are easily identified, allowing your accounting team to focus on reconciliation for the unmatched transactions.This streamlines the reconciliation process by highlighting any discrepancies that need attention, saving valuable time for your team.
