# Braintree

> Learn how to connect Braintree to Slicker

### Prerequisites

Slicker integrates with Braintree via their API. Credentials for this API are created via Braintree's Control Panel.

### Create credentials

Follow the [official Braintree documentation for creating API keys](https://developer.paypal.com/braintree/articles/control-panel/important-gateway-credentials#api-keys).
In the end you will need to have the following:

* Public Key
* Private Key
* Merchant ID

### Create integration in Slicker

1. Go to Slicker's [new integration page](https://app.slickerhq.com/integrations/new).
2. Select `Braintree` from the list of integrations.
3. Give the integration a name and description to help you identify it later.
4. Enter the merchant ID and the public/private key pair generated from the Control Panel.
5. Click the `Submit` button to create the integration.

### Troubleshooting

On integration creation, Slicker will attempt to connect to Braintree using the provided API key.
If the connection fails, you will see an error message like the one below.
Please double-check the provided credentials, make sure it has the correct permissions, and try again.
