Reviews
No Longer Maintained
If I were to simply evaluate the plugin I would say it is simple and I like it.
But it has not been updated in over 2 years, it is only working on my site because of a hack, and the promises to adopt and update the plugin have not been fulfilled.
So I’m guessing this thing is dead.
Beware, No Longer Works
This plugin used to work for a short time in fall 2015. But shortly after Gravity Forms was upgraded it stopped working. It appears the Add On is no longer supported and has not had any modifications or updates to keep it functional. What is worse is that it did not show any actually error messages about payments and DID allow people to submit the form and THINK they were paying online. But no transaction happened at all, so the payment was totally lost and we did not find that out until it was too late. According to Braintree they seem to be encouraging people to use a WooCommerce enabled plugin instead.
Fatal error on gravity forms update
Broken. Took my site down when I upgraded gravity forms. Had to disable my payment page, which in retrospect was stupid to base around a plugin that I have no control over.
Will happily remove this if and when the dev fixes the plugin.
Fatal error: Access level to Plugify_GForm_Braintree::authorize() must be public (as in class GFPaymentAddOn) in /home/philadev/public_html/wp-content/plugins/gravity-forms-braintree/lib/class.plugify-gform-braintree.php on line 311
Broken
Will be happy to change my review when it is fixed. Apparently a new Dev has taken it over, but as things stand it is completely broken and has not been updated since late last year. I don’t even have access to the Braintree options.
Running:
Plugin v1.1.2
Gravity Forms v1.9.19
WP v4.5.2
Easy to Use, But Lacking AVS and Email Support
This plugin was very easy to install and setup. The settings are easily entered under the initial form settings. It does take an extra few steps to add a Braintree “feed” to each of your forms, but each one took only a few seconds to activating.
The main reason it does not get 5 stars is because it is lacking an important modern requirement for most merchants – AVS and Email Receipt support. Basically, the plugin does not pass the email address and billing zip code with the transaction at all, so if you have AVS and Email Receipts turned on in your Braintree account – it will fail / decline the payments with a generic error. I really hope the new version 1.2 comes out soon and supports zip code and email address fields in the data it passes to Braintree.
