I’m using your Braintree Payment add-on. My Braintree account has two ‘merchant accounts’ within it (one used for US and one for New Zealand). I do not see a config option in your plugin where I can specify which of my multiple ‘merchant accounts’ to use (i.e. transactions will go to the ‘default’ merchant account on the Braintree side). Does your plugin have this config option?

The payment methods pro add-on adds a feature where you can set up two instances of the Braintree gateway, then select between the two for each event. More info here:

I think you misunderstand my need.
I don’t need two instances of the Braintree gateway. I need one instance of the Braintree gateway that allows me to configure not only the ‘merchant id’, ‘public key’ and ‘private key’… but in addition to those three values, I also need to specify the ‘merchant account id’.
Here is a link to Braintree docs concerning the ‘merchant account id’ I am referring to:

I’m afraid there is no other way you can specify which of your multiple ‘merchant accounts’ to use other than by using the Payment Methods Pro add-on. Each instance of the gateway can point to one merchant account.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but even if I use the Payment Methods Pro add-on to set up multiple instances of Braintree gateway, I’m no better off, since there you provide no way to configure the Braintree gateway such that it is using a specific ‘merchant account id’ (which again, can be thought of as a sub-account inside of my main Braintree ‘merchant id’).

You are correct in that the Payment Methods Pro add-on (PMP for short) will not help with this setup as it stands. You will need an additional option on the Braintree payment method to allow you set the ‘merchant account id’, you could then use PMP to set specific Braintree instances on specific events if needed.
Add this snippet to your site:
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/payment-methods/tw_ee_braintree_merchant_account_id.php
I recommend using a custom functions plugin, we have some documentation on how to create one here:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/
That snippets adds a ‘Merchant account ID’ field to the Braintree settings form and then uses that value (if set) during the sale call to Braintree, it should allow you to do what you are requesting.
