WePay Drops Prices, Rolls Out White Label Payments API

That is great that they listened to customer feedback. I started using other providers because of handling everything through the iFrames and callbacks. They have a lot to offer, especially with the ability to create customer accounts. It is worth checking out.

how does this compare to stripe?

[joelrunyon]

It's a less technical solution, but it's been really easy to setup.

Most of my projects from here on out are going to be either utilizing wepay or stripe and staying as far, far away from PayPal as possible.

* Full support for platform use case including the easiest possible merchant onboarding and ability to charge "app fee" for services.

* Support for all experience levels from hosted pages to payment buttons to iFrame solution (full PCI compliance) to Credit Card Tokenization (PCI compliance required).

* Simpler Credit Card Tokenization API that allows you to immediately charge the user and store the credit card for later use.

It seems like WePay is still trying to figure out its place in the industry. It's an inferior offering to PayPal and was rapidly passed over by Stripe.

Sad that you have to be a USA resident :/

Is it possible to accept wepay for merchants from another countries, e.g Russia?

Seems like it is not the case: > You must be a US resident to accept payments.

Isn't there some link between techcrunch, y-combo, and HN?

[pbreit]

Ycombinator operates HN (as should be apparent by the URL). Neither are related to TechCrunch beyond all having an interest in the tech industry.

Downvote.

Downvotes instead of an answer. That's awesome.
