Production and Sandbox Braintree SDK minimum version requirement (PHP 6.21.0)

[peterjohnhunt]

Hello!

We currently use the your plugin for Braintree payment processing. We recently received this notice from Paypal/Braintree:

ACTION REQUIRED: Update your production and Sandbox Braintree SDK version

Our records show that as of 1/29/2025, you were using a legacy SDK version on a production or Sandbox application that is not compatible with an upcoming update to our root SSL certificate provider for production and Sandbox API traffic on 1/30/2025.

If you do not update to a compatible SDK and push changes to customer devices by June 30, 2025, you will not be able to process requests through your PayPal Braintree production and Sandbox accounts until you make the necessary update.

Server-Side SDKs:

• PHP 6.21.0

The braintree SDK currently in use is 6.3.0: https://github.com/angelleye/paypal-woocommerce/blob/release/classes/lib/lib/Braintree/Version.php

Is there an SDK update already on the roadmap?

PayPal has really been pushing us to get people moved into the new "PayPal Complete Payments" platform, so we really haven't been focusing much on Braintree.

Are you familiar with that and have you considered it? Is there something keeping you specifically in the Braintree platform instead of moving to PayPal directly?

[peterjohnhunt]

Hey @drewangell, we currently are using subscriptions, ACH, and a few other Braintree features. We haven't looked too far into PayPal Complete Payments but have a number of other integrations with Braintree that may make it tough for us to switch over in the near future.

[drewangell]

Ah, okay, then you'll probably want to stick with BT as PPCP doesn't (yet) have ACH, and moving the subscriptions can be tricky.

I'll get this in our queue so that we can get it resolved in plenty of time and update here accordingly.

Hey all, with the SDK deadline coming quickly, we will need to do a good bit of testing across several of our web properties. Do we have an ETA on when the SDK update release might be ready?

[drewangell]

If you want to play with branch PFW-1922 (https://github.com/angelleye/paypal-woocommerce/tree/PFW-1922) you can get a head start on testing.

I just need to do a little bit more testing myself before I officially release it. I was planning to get that done next week. If you can help with any feedback from testing that branch that would be greatly appreciated! :)
