Hi,
As you right mentionned, the Braintree plugin is provided by "3by400".
The HikaShop team does not have any single knowledge about that plugin code.
We never had that plugin and we do not know how it is working.
So ; I really don't know how we could be able to answer to your question for something we do not know and we did not developed.
The only one who can is the developer of the plugin, the team who is selling it... And that's just not us...

By the way, do not send me private message, use the "contact us" form instead.
