Cardflo vs Braintree
Braintree er et fornuftigt standardvalg, når PayPal og Venmo er strategiske betalingsknapper. Cardflo betjener forhandlere, der ønsker et bredere udvalg af indløsere, specialiseret support til højrisiko, eller gennemsigtig interchange-plus-prissætning frem for PayPal-stakkens blandede model.

FAQ
Kan jeg beholde PayPal og Venmo ved kassen, hvis jeg flytter kortindløsning til Cardflo?
Ja. PayPal og Venmo kører som APM-forbindelser ved kassen, mens korttransaktioner afregnes via Cardflos indløsere. Forhandlere beholder typisk PayPal-knappen og skifter kun kortvolumen.
Hvor meget sparer interchange-plus faktisk i forhold til Braintrees blandede prisfastsættelse?
Det afhænger af kortmix og billetstørrelse. Ved betydeligt volumen opfanger forhandleren fordelen ved billigere kort (debet, regulerede, kommercielle), hvilket normalt er materielt. Vi modellerer gerne dit kortmix mod en reel Braintree-erklæring.
Håndterer Cardflo tvister på samme måde som Braintree?
Ja, med en præsentationsarbejdsgang pr. sag og den udstedende deadlines synliggjort på forhånd. Mekanikken varierer pr. indløser bag kulisserne, men forhandleroplevelsen er én konsolideret kø.
How does Cardflo's fee model compare on a subscription workload at $20M GMV?
Braintree is typically 2.9% + 30c blended. On $20M annual card volume with premium-rewards weighting typical of DTC subscription, Cardflo's interchange-plus with debit routing and Level 2/3 data on eligible commercial cards usually lands 35 to 65 bps lower on effective rate, with the biggest wins on renewal cohorts through account updater and network tokens.
What does migration off Braintree look like?
Card-on-file tokens transfer via a PCI-compliant vault-to-vault export (Braintree can hand off network tokens directly and raw PANs via secure exchange). Realistic timelines are 4 to 8 weeks including a parallel-run validation phase where 5 to 10% of renewals are shadow-authorised on Cardflo before full cutover.
What ongoing support and integration engineering does Cardflo provide?
A named payments manager plus a shared Slack or Teams channel with acquiring, risk and engineering. Braintree's PayPal-branded enterprise support is competent but ticket-based, and integration engineering (webhooks, ledger reconciliation, retry logic) sits on the merchant. Cardflo ships those pieces as part of onboarding.
Can I run Cardflo and Braintree side by side during migration?
Yes. Cardflo's checkout SDK supports A/B routing at the customer or cohort level so you can migrate 10%, then 25%, then 100% of traffic while comparing approval rates and effective costs on identical mixes. Most enterprises stage the cutover across 30 to 60 days.
How does Cardflo compare to the PayPal-Braintree Vault?
Braintree's Vault is tightly coupled to PayPal Wallet balances and PayPal-authorised risk decisions. Cardflo runs a network-token-first Vault (Visa VTS, Mastercard MDES) that is portable across acquirers, so card-on-file assets stay with the merchant rather than the wallet operator. Merchants can keep PayPal / Braintree as one payment method inside a Cardflo checkout while owning the card credential.
Does Cardflo support PayPal, Venmo and Pay Later at checkout?
Yes, PayPal, Venmo (US) and PayPal Pay Later are supported alongside card acquiring through Cardflo, so merchants keep the conversion benefit of the PayPal button without being locked into Braintree as the underlying card processor.
What happens if Braintree tightens risk appetite on my vertical?
On a single-acquirer stack, a shift in Braintree's risk appetite (fraud caps, MCC eligibility, reserve requirements) affects the entire portfolio at once. On Cardflo, Braintree can be one of several acquirers behind the routing layer; a change in appetite simply reweights traffic to a healthier acquirer instead of forcing a rushed migration.
