WePay

WePay is leveling the playing field for small businesses by disrupting traditional payment models. WePay provides tools for small businesses to accept credit cards and - through its platform API - empowers marketplaces and apps serving small businesses to enable transactions on their platforms.

WePay’s payment tools for small businesses include online invoices, a mobile application, on-site checkout buttons and a virtual credit card terminal. WePay has processed transactions for over 250,000 merchants through these tools.

WePay’s easy-to-integrate API allows partners to create a frictionless, high converting payments user experience while also protecting the partner against risk, fraud and compliance issues. WePay is able to provide this best-in-class payments platform because of its proprietary Veda social risk detection engine and because of its 2013 Gold Stevie award-winning customer service team. Example partners include GoFundMe, Formstack, SitterCity, Bookfresh, Soldsie and many more.
