Welcome to Braintree's iOS SDK. This library will help you accept card and alternative payments in your iOS app.
The Braintree iOS SDK permits a deployment target of iOS 16.0 or higher. It requires Xcode 16.2+ and Swift 5.10+.

Upgrade your integration to continue accepting Braintree payments 📣 The SSL certificates for current iOS SDK versions (v5 and v6) are set to expire by March 30, 2026. Upgrade to v5.26.0+ and v6.17.0+, respectively, to continue using the Braintree SDK. Click here for more details

v6 is the latest major version of Braintree iOS. To update from v5, see the v6 migration guide. If you have not yet migrated to v5, see the v5 migration guide
We recommend using Swift Package Manager, CocoaPods, or Carthage to integrate the Braintree SDK with your project.
To add the Braintree package to your Xcode project, select File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency and enter https://github.com/braintree/braintree_ios as the repository URL. Tick the checkboxes for the specific Braintree libraries you wish to include.
If you look at your app target, you will see that the Braintree libraries you chose are automatically linked as a frameworks to your app (see General > Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content).
BraintreePayPal and BraintreeLocalPayment also require the inclusion of the BraintreeDataCollector module.
In your app's source code files, use the following import syntax to include Braintree's libraries:
import BraintreeCore
import BraintreeCard
import BraintreeApplePay
import BraintreePayPal
# Includes Cards and PayPal
pod 'Braintree'
# Optionally include additional Pods
pod 'Braintree/DataCollector'
pod 'Braintree/Venmo'
Braintree 6.0.0+ requires Carthage 0.38.0+ and the --use-xcframeworks option when running carthage update.
Add github "braintree/braintree_ios" to your Cartfile, and add the frameworks to your project.
Note: Long term support for Carthage is not guaranteed. Please update to SPM, if possible. If there are concerns, please comment on this Discussion thread.
Start with 'Hello, Client!' for instructions on basic setup and usage.
Next, read the full documentation for information about integrating with additional payment methods, such as PayPal and Venmo, as well as explore our pre-built Drop-In UI offering.
If you're looking to update to a newer version of our SDK, please see our recommended approach below.
To update using Swift Package Manager, select File→ Packages → Update to Latest Package Versions.
You can either update all pods listed within your Podfile using pod update or specific pods as needed using pod update PODNAME. For additional details, see the Cocoapods guidelines.
To update to the latest versions of each framework, simply run the carthage update command. For more details, check out the Carthage guidelines.
