    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.

    vaults, and handling disputes. A sandbox environment is available at payments.sandbox.braintree-api.com/graphql
