Braintree reserve held $ is not settlement held-batch share
On one Braintree float-park cut, put reserve held $ over settled $. That is BT reserve %.
Pair: Reserve-hold share on Payments. Batch twin: held-batch. Seamless twin: reserve-hold.
What you type
Reserve held $ — Cash Braintree still parks in the rolling reserve for the float-park cut.
Settled $ — Settled volume dollars tied to that same Braintree float-park cut.
BT reserve % = reserve held ÷ settled × 100. Fat BT reserve % means the rail eats float. Chase the MID release. Never invent a BT reserve chip.
What not to do
Do not invent BT reserve %. Do not paste a settlement-hold-share or SeamlessChex reserve file into Braintree fields. Do not count batch rejects as reserve dollars. Do not mix MIDs when one merchant owns the float pile.

FAQ
- Is this Braintree settlement-hold share?
- Batch count grain, not reserve dollars. [Settlement-hold share](/manuals/braintree-settlement-hold-share) is held settlements ÷ settlements. This page only puts reserve held $ over settled $.
- Is this SeamlessChex or Argyle reserve-hold share?
- Different processor ledger. [SeamlessChex reserve-hold share](/manuals/seamless-reserve-hold-share) and [Argyle reserve-hold share](/manuals/argyle-reserve-hold-share) read those desks. Here you only score Braintree reserve held $ ÷ settled $.
- What BT reserve % should I invent?
- None. Pull reserve held $ and settled $ from the same Braintree float-park cut.
