Cardflo vs Braintree
當 PayPal 和 Venmo 是策略性的結帳按鈕時，Braintree 是一個合理的預設選擇。Cardflo 為那些希望擁有更廣泛收單機構選擇、專業高風險支援，或透明的 Interchange-plus 定價模式（而非 PayPal 堆疊的混合模式）的商戶提供服務。
Cardflo 合適的情境
- ✓您想要 Interchange-plus 定價，而不是 Braintree 的混合費率
- ✓您需要 Braintree 不支援的高風險行業收單機構
- ✓您需要跨多個一級收單機構的收單冗餘功能
Braintree 合適的情境
- •PayPal 和 Venmo 是您受眾的主要結帳按鈕
- •您想要一個能原生捆綁這些錢包的單一 PSP

常見問題
如果我將信用卡收單轉移到 Cardflo，我還能在結帳時保留 PayPal 和 Venmo 嗎？
可以。PayPal 和 Venmo 作為 APM 連接器在結帳時運行，而信用卡交易則通過 Cardflo 的收單機構結算。商家通常會保留 PayPal 按鈕，只切換信用卡交易量。
Interchange-plus 與 Braintree 的混合定價相比，實際能節省多少？
這取決於信用卡組合和交易金額。對於可觀的交易量，商家能從成本較低的卡（扣賬卡、受規管卡、商業卡）中獲益，這通常是相當可觀的。我們樂意根據您真實的 Braintree 結單來為您的信用卡組合進行建模。
Cardflo 處理爭議的方式和 Braintree 一樣嗎？
是的，每個案例都有重新提交工作流程，並會預先告知發卡機構的截止日期。幕後的機制因收單機構而異，但商戶體驗是一個統一的隊列。
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.
