Integrate Amazon DynamoDB with Braintree

Amazon DynamoDB is a global distributed database that provides data persistence. It stores data in tables. A table can contain items of different types and different attributes. You have the option to use different kinds of indexes to access items in the table. It is a schemaless database.It offers an easy-to-use web service interface that lets you retrieve, update, and delete items from tables using HTTP request. You can interact with the database using AWS SDKs and command line tools. Amazon DynamoDB supports both SQL and NoSQL operations.

Braintree is a payment processor that offers simple, secure ways to accept payments across multiple platforms and devices. It offers many features such as recurring billing, mobile payments, and PCI compliance.Braintree's powerful gateway connects your business to thousands of payment gateways around the world. It allows you to accept all major credit cards and alternative currencies such as Bitcoin.Braintree's platform is built on top of industry-leading security protocols and it offers a complete suite of fraud prevention tools. You can easily integrate Braintree into your website or app via Braintree PHP, Ruby, Java, Python, .NET, Android, iOS, and others.

Integration of Amazon DynamoDB and Braintree is possible through JavaScript SDK and REST API. You can achieve this by passing an object that contains your DynamoDB table information to the Braintree JavaScript SDK constructor. The constructor takes two parameters. the Web SDK configuration object, which contains all the settings for your account, and the options hash containing settings for the specific operation you want to perform.The properties of the options hash are documented on the Braintree developer portal (https://developers.braintreepayments.com/docs/javascript-sdk/.After setting up the SDK, you can create a customer record first by calling the createCustomer method with your customer object. You can then create a new payment method by calling the createPaymentMethod method with your customer's payment method details. Finally, you can create a purchase by calling the createPurchase method with your customer object and payment method details. You can also get customers paid with a particular payment method by calling the getPurchases method with your customer's payment method details.After creating a new purchase, you need to attach a receipt from Amazon DynamoDB to it using the addReceiptFromDynamoDB method before you can capture it using Braintree's capture method.Before capturing a purchase, you need to authorize the capture by calling the authorizeCapture method with your customer's payment method details. After capturing a purchase, you will receive a capture response from Braintree over HTTP with an XML or JSON payload depending on your request.After receiving a capture response from Braintree, you can view the transaction on Amazon DynamoDB by using Amazon DynamoDB Query Language (DQL. to query for any records in the purchased_items table matching the following format:"type" . "AWS::DynamoDB::Table", "name" . "customerId", "hashKey" . "id", "rangeKey" . "transactionId", "attributeValueList" . [ { "attributeName". "receiptHash", "attributeType". "S", "keyAttribute". true } ]In this example, type indicates the name of the table; name contains the name of the hash key; hashKey contains the hash key value; rangeKey contains the range key value; and attributeValueList contains values for any attributes in your item schema that are not included in your query conditions. The attributeValueList should contain just one value for each attribute defined in your item schema unless otherwise indicated in your query conditions. In this example, we're querying for all records where type = "AWS::DynamoDB::Table", name = "customerId", hashKey = "id", rangeKey = "transactionId", attributeValueList = ["receiptHash"];
