      The Braintree Payments API is the core server-side interface for accepting
      and processing payments through Braintree's gateway. It enables developers
      to create and manage transactions, handle authorizations and captures, and
      process refunds and voids. The API supports a wide range of payment methods
      including credit and debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Venmo.
      Server SDKs are available for Ruby, Python, PHP, Java, Node.js, and .NET
      to simplify integration with the REST-based API.

      The Braintree GraphQL API provides a modern, flexible interface for
      interacting with the Braintree payment gateway. It exposes a single HTTP
      endpoint that handles all queries and mutations, allowing developers to
      request only the data they need. The API supports tokenizing payment
      methods, creating transactions, managing customer vaults, and handling
      disputes. A sandbox environment is available at
      payments.sandbox.braintree-api.com/graphql for testing integrations before
      going live.

      The Braintree JavaScript Client SDK enables secure collection of payment information
      directly in the browser without sensitive card data touching your servers. It
      is organized into standalone modules for different payment methods including
      hosted fields, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and three-D Secure. The SDK provides
      both a Drop-In UI component for rapid integration and lower-level APIs for fully
      customized payment forms.

      Objective-C and provides modules for credit and debit card processing,
      PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, and three-D Secure authentication. The SDK
      tokenizes payment information collected from users and returns a payment
      method nonce that your server uses to complete the transaction. It is
      distributed via CocoaPods, Carthage, and Swift Package Manager.

      can hold multiple payment methods, billing addresses, and associated transaction
      history.

      pricing, billing cycles, and trial periods, then subscribe customers using vaulted
      payment methods. The API handles automatic charge retries, prorated billing
      for mid-cycle changes, add-ons and discounts, and subscription lifecycle events.
