How to Use Recurring Gifts on a Web Form with Braintree

In order to use recurring billing with Braintree, you must first create a plan(s) in Braintree directly. If you need assistance doing this, please see our Knowledge Base guide on ‘How to Set up Recurring Billing with Braintree’.

The Recurring Gift option is available for Donation Web Forms. You may either create a new Web Form, or edit one, and set ‘Allow Recurring Donations’ to Yes.

This is all you have to do to start accepting recurring donations. The option of ‘One Time’ or ‘Recurring’ will display on your Web Form under the Donation field. If the user chooses ‘Recurring’, they will be required to choose from the list of Braintree plans that you have setup.

When recurring billing is enabled, you can also use the field ‘Plan Name’ in the Confirmation Page and Confirmation Email text.

Recurring Gift Web Form records are processed exactly the same as one-time records. The details for the record will display the subscription if one was created. When these records are processed, they will create a Recurring Gift Account linked to that Braintree subscription.

Please review our Knowledge Base guide on ‘How to Process Recurring Gifts Using Braintree’ for information about processing the future subscription transactions into the Eleo records.
