Full disclosure: I work for Braintree.

Yes, it's possible to verify a credit card before charging it. First, make sure your account is set up for card verification in the control panel. For the flow you are describing, you can create a customer with the verifyCard flag set to true: ​

$result = Braintree_Customer::create([
    'firstName' => 'Your',
    'lastName' => 'Customer',
    'email' => 'customer@example.com',
    'creditCard' => [
        'options' => [
            'verifyCard' => 'true'
        ],
    ],
    'paymentMethodNonce' => 'the-nonce',
]);

​If the customer is created successfully, you can inspect the result for a CreditCardVerification object. ​

$verification = $result->customer->creditCards[0]->verification

​You can then pull the payment method token off the created customer and use it to create a transaction. ​

$token = $result->customer->creditCards[0]->token

If you have additional questions about your integration, please reach out to Braintree support.
