NOTE: Three additional benefits to processing with Braintree:


1. You can batch run all credit cards at the end of the day. The next morning you receive a report of all cards run and listing of which ones went through and which ones were turned down.


2. You can now email an Invoice to a client with a payment link to pay the invoice via credit card online via Braintree. This is a big time saver in collections.


3.  We suggest enabling more Fraud Management settings in your Braintree account - in particular AVS and CVV check boxes: https://developer.paypal.com/braintree/articles/guides/fraud-tools/basic/avs-cvv-rules
