Founded 2007 in Chicago as a developer-friendly payment gateway and merchant account for online businesses. Acquired Venmo in 2012 and was itself acquired by PayPal in 2013 for $800M, becoming PayPal's enterprise-grade payment processing arm. By 2026, Braintree has been rebranded/absorbed as 'PayPal Enterprise Payments' inside the PayPal Open platform — the same product, but positioned as PayPal's end-to-end enterprise payments stack rather than a standalone brand.
