You can access the test credit card numbers from the documentation directly by clicking the link below: https://developer.paypal.com/braintree/docs/reference/general/testing/ruby
This will provide the specific test credit card numbers and details you need to test your payment gateway in the sandbox environment.
When you configure the module correctly, consumers can pay using Braintree on the checkout page.
Once click on “Pay Using Braintree” you will get 3 options:
On selecting the card option, a customer needs to enter the card and expiry date to proceed with the payment. After specifying the card details, click on the validate payment button.

Using the “update all transactions status” you can update the status of all transactions in a batch, allowing you to quickly and efficiently manage multiple transactions at once.
Using the Braintree payment gateway the admin can easily manage the refund process of the customers.
The money is transferred to the admin account once the status is settled. Currently, if a customer requests a refund, the admin can process the refund by reimbursing the money using
In the Refund transaction block, you can choose the refund type:
Full Refund: To refund the complete amount.
Partial Refund: Here, you choose the amount needed to refund.
Note: If a partial refund is selected, then a new field will be displayed where you can enter the refund amount.
Refund Remark: Enter a remark for this refund.
Once you have processed the refund, then a record for that refund gets created on the “Braintree Transactions” page as shown below:
If a customer initiates the refund request and the status is “Submitted for Settlement”, then the admin can refund the amount by the void transaction. This will change the status to “voided” and then Braintree will refund the amount to the customer.
Void refers to the cancellation of a transaction. When a transaction is voided, it is essentially reversed, and the funds are returned to the customer’s account.
When you void a payment, you create a record for that void payment on the “Braintree Transactions” page, as shown below.
That was all about the “QloApps BrainTree Payment Gateway”.
