Use PayPal Braintree

1. Understand Venmo Integration:
   • Venmo is owned by PayPal, and you can use PayPal’s Braintree or PayPal Checkout to accept Venmo payments on your website.
2. Set Up a Braintree Account:
   • If you don’t already have a Braintree account, you’ll need to sign up for one at Braintree Payments.
3. Integrate Braintree with Your Website:
   • Follow the steps to set up Braintree on your website. This typically involves:
     • Signing up for Braintree.
     • Creating a sandbox account for testing.
     • Generating API keys.
4. Add Venmo via Braintree:
   • In the Braintree control panel, ensure that Venmo is enabled as a payment method.
   • Braintree’s documentation will guide you through the process of integrating Venmo into your checkout flow. You can find detailed instructions here.

Use PayPal Checkout with Venmo

Another way to add Venmo is through PayPal Checkout, which supports Venmo as an option. Ensure your PayPal Checkout integration includes the Venmo button.

To do this, include the Venmo button in your PayPal buttons configuration.

Javascript Code:

<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&components=buttons,funding-eligibility"></script> <script>  paypal.Buttons({    fundingSource: paypal.FUNDING.VENMO,    createOrder: function(data, actions) {      return actions.order.create({        purchase_units: [{          amount: {            value: '0.01' // Replace with your transaction amount          }        }]      });    },    onApprove: function(data, actions) {      return actions.order.capture().then(function(details) {        alert('Transaction completed by ' + details.payer.name.given_name);      });    }  }).render('#paypal-button-container'); // Replace with your container element </script>

Customize Your Button: Make sure your website’s styling is compatible with the Venmo button. You can customize the appearance and behaviour of the button through the PayPal or Braintree software development kit (SDK).
