Braintree Marketplace
Braintree Marketplace is a payment processing platform designed for multi-party marketplaces, enabling businesses to split payments between multiple recipients (e.g., buyers, sellers, and the platform itself). It provides tools for managing escrow, payouts, and compliance, built on top of Braintree's core payment gateway. This solution simplifies complex payment flows in platforms like ride-sharing, e-commerce marketplaces, and gig economy apps.
Developers should use Braintree Marketplace when building platforms that involve splitting payments among multiple parties, as it handles regulatory compliance (e.g., KYC, tax reporting) and reduces fraud risks through escrow management. It's ideal for use cases such as online marketplaces (e.g., Airbnb-style rentals), food delivery services, or freelance platforms where funds need to be distributed securely and efficiently.
