# Braintree Automation

Automate payment processing operations via Stripe-compatible tooling including managing customers, subscriptions, payment methods, balance transactions, and customer searches. The Composio platform routes Braintree payment workflows through the Stripe toolkit for unified payment management.

**Toolkit docs:** [composio.dev/toolkits/braintree](https://composio.dev/toolkits/braintree)

## Setup

This skill requires the **Rube MCP server** connected at `https://rube.app/mcp`.

Before executing any tools, ensure an active connection exists for the `stripe` toolkit. If no connection is active, initiate one via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS`.
