Braintree Payments

We\'re launching a new method of taking payments in the Cash Shop called braintree. You can pay with credit card (including cards from over 130 countries) and use paypal.

To celebrate the launch we\'ve created a temporary currency that you can use in the Braintree Bonus shop for the next week only to purchase old cash shop bonus (stripe and paypal!) items. You earn 1 point for every $5 you purchase using braintree!

This bonus will end on Monday the 19th at 11:59PM.

I see my own avatar as the shopkeeper... XD

space 10/12/15 5:45 pm

Who is that shopkeeper?

Kellijuana 10/12/15 5:44 pm

Ack! I need like 80 dollars right now! D:

FCoD 10/12/15 5:30 pm

I have the same question as @311. Will prepaid Visa gift cards work?

Keith STAFF 10/12/15 5:30 pm

@Yoshi We don't actually have that information. Braintree (which is owned by paypal) has it saved on their server (and it doesn't even have it saved, they don't have your entire credit card #, just the has that they can use to process payments forward) and sends us the last four digits to display on that page. It's actually more secure this way because you aren't submitting your card number over and over again :)

Enthusiasm 10/12/15 5:28 pm

Nevermind. Ignore. It took a few mins to process and go through.

Briar_439 10/12/15 5:27 pm

this is kind of confusing. i'll just hold off until the system is more concrete

Enthusiasm 10/12/15 5:25 pm

It said 1 point for $5 spent. I just spent $10 so I could get 2 bonus points. I only got one point. Did I miss something?

Vaixation 10/12/15 5:25 pm

Aw what... xD I just bought $20 of CSC this morning. Gosh I wish I'd waited a little bit now.... man. x'D

Yoshi 10/12/15 5:20 pm

I tried this out since there was an item in the braintree shop that I wanted, and I have to say I'm not at all a fan of the fact that my card info is saved on the payments page. Change the saved info thing to be an option for people who are comfortable with it; I see this as a huge security issue. Especially since I can't even take my card info off this page without putting on another card.

Chrysariel 10/12/15 5:19 pm

This should help a lot of people...course like others I'd already bought my csc for the month...UGH! lol

Speiro 10/12/15 5:17 pm

Did someone say...

~~FLUX~~ 10/12/15 4:59 pm

Thanks for purchasing from the shop!

Awesome :D Thanks! This was the only item that I liked and still needed.

Evy 10/12/15 4:54 pm

Worked just fine with paypal!

Just a question though: "You've earned the Forum Shop Purchase achievement!" Got that achievement when buying from the shop, don't think that was supposed to happen?

311 10/12/15 4:37 pm

Are we able to use prepaid visa gift cards, etc with braintree? And also, once we enter in one payment type are we able to change cards or use different cards later even though the payment info automatically saves?

Sirensong 10/12/15 4:29 pm

Well, that figures. I bought csc yesterday.

Silvy 10/12/15 4:25 pm

UGH Just bought CSC two days ago.
There goes my paycheck I haven't received yet :/

nier 10/12/15 4:13 pm

no chance for opal and black pearls then ?? ;; im aware that it was a paybycash bonus, but still............... ANYWAYS ill be waiting till payday for this

Katlamos 10/12/15 4:10 pm

So I'm assuming that the new option to actually type out my card info and then hit buy is the braintree payment, yes?

Katlamos 10/12/15 4:04 pm

This is just evil. I want so many of those things T-T

grace 10/12/15 3:57 pm

@Paddy i totally get that. i actually honestly thought i'd set an option where it wouldn't be saved until i could figure out a way to let people explicitly save payment methods (ie how stripe is set up), but i must have done it wrong :(

~~Crucify~~ 10/12/15 3:56 pm

What about people with mobiles? :(

Paddy 10/12/15 3:54 pm

Thanks @grelca - it'd just make me feel happier about it if I knew I had to bung in my word each time (also saves silly mis-click purchases!)

finilain 10/12/15 3:53 pm

I love this so much, thank you!! I live in Europe and I actually had to wait 10 days and then file a ticket every time I ordered CSC with paypal (and I don't have a credit card). And I just ordered CSC with brain tree and got them a second later <3 amazing! This means a lot more cash shop for me in the future.

grace 10/12/15 3:52 pm

@Paddy there will be soon (but it might be a few days while i dig through the documentation and figure it out, sorry!).

Squid 10/12/15 3:49 pm

For a mere 110$ I could have all of the bonus items I ever missed! (Well, a bit more, actually. Canadian dollar is weak right now I think)

Kisrah 10/12/15 3:49 pm

@grelca Thanks! It was actually a problem on my end though. Just hit me that this change probably means something new that NoScript was blocking. And it was. xD Problem solved.

ANYONE USING NOSCRIPT. You need to allow "braintreegateway.com" on the Buy CSC page in order to see all the buttons and forms correctly.

Paddy 10/12/15 3:49 pm

@grelca is there a way to force the paypal button to reappear each time? (I don't want it to automatically connect to my paypal account without me having to add my word)

grace 10/12/15 3:47 pm

@Kisrah you have to wait for the actual form to load. for some reason they have it set up where the pay button shows before the rest of it, which i can't change, but when it finishes loading the form has a paypal button and a credit card number/info form.

BEACH 10/12/15 3:47 pm

So @Keith Can I get credit now even though I bought through pp before your annoucement? Cause well $30 is a bit of money, you know!

Laevateinn 10/12/15 3:47 pm

Good thing I have to buy more CSC this weekend anyway. :'D Can't wait to be able to collect items I never thought I'd be able to get! xD

Kisrah 10/12/15 3:45 pm

@grelca How do I do that then? As I said in my last post, when I clicked the "Pay" button I just got a "Thanks" message. There was no option to go through PayPal as I normally do.

lull 10/12/15 3:44 pm

@Keith - Thank you for the clarity ^_^

grace 10/12/15 3:42 pm

@Kisrah you can continue to use paypal. it will just be processed on our end through braintree (which is a paypal company). :)

also, though, you've never had to store your payment info with stripe unless you were signing up for a subscription.

Meredithh 10/12/15 3:42 pm

Pretty exciting. Literally bought csc only a few hours ago. But I'm still hyped to get a couple of items I've missed previously. I'd love some new relish items though..... ;)

Peppermint 10/12/15 3:41 pm

Hnnnngh perfect timing. I was just thinking of buying a little csc in preparation of Black Friday sales. Heck yes, I've had my eye on a few of those previous stripe/paypal items. ♥️

grace 10/12/15 3:40 pm

@Andrea to be fair, paypal (or their parent company, idk whatever) is the company that named it, not us :P

Kisrah 10/12/15 3:39 pm

I clicked the "Pay" button to take a look at the new option. I just got a "Thanks" message about receiving CSC when payment is verified or something. But I have no payment options saved.

Also, I DO NOT WANT my payment info saved to my account. There's a reason I never used Stripe. I feel safer going through PayPal and having to enter my details every time. Do we HAVE to have our details saved? :(

I'm a frequent purchaser of CSC, and this is turning me off.

Shelbi 10/12/15 3:38 pm

I'm not one to complain often. But of course this happens once I already bought so much csc xD

Damon 10/12/15 3:35 pm

Nope... Bad timing for me I got CSC a few days ago.

Andrea 10/12/15 3:32 pm

Interesting, I think I've gotten all of those items I want so I won't be trying this out yet, but next time there's a bonus we'll see how this works.

That said, am I the only one who's first reaction was "wtf braintree, this isn't neopets, subeta go home ur drunk" |D?

grace 10/12/15 3:31 pm

@Reaper braintree subscriptions aren't available yet, but you will be able to continue to use your stripe subscription as long as you want even after we switch them over. existing subscriptions will 100% still be honored. :)

Galaxia 10/12/15 3:29 pm

is this going to overlap with the usual Delish/bonus weekend, perchance?

Reaper 10/12/15 3:28 pm

If we aren't at our renewal date yet can/should we switch to Braintree instead of stripe? @grelca

DryadGurrl 10/12/15 3:25 pm

D'oh, typical of me, pushing the wrong buttons. Thank you though, I appreciate it!

Keith STAFF 10/12/15 3:24 pm

@lull These items are available for this week only in this method, the points are available for this week only. We'll send a notification to people who have them on Sunday telling them to make sure to spend their points before they're removed, this is entirely temporary.

After this week, it'll be back to normal.

Keith STAFF 10/12/15 3:24 pm

It should be faster than stripe, checking it out now to double check :)!

@DryadGurrl You actually used stripe instead of braintree, be more careful next time :) We're going to credit you anyway.

azkaban 10/12/15 3:23 pm

hhhh subeta why
i just bought csc a few days ago ;_;

lull 10/12/15 3:22 pm

Before I go crazy rushing to buy csc to get braintree points for this week I was wondering if you could tell us how things will work after this week? Will they be the same as before but just a different paying agent thingy or are the braintree points a permanent new thing? Will all these items be available after this week in some way or are they gone again after this week?

joy 10/12/15 3:20 pm

Is going through Braintree slower than the methods used before?

I just bought CSC seven minutes ago and it wasn't credited to my account.
