Ask HN: WePay and Stripe
I've been looking at both WePay and Stripe lately. WePay is cheaper up to a break even point of $50, where Stripe becomes cheaper. Stripe seems to have better APIs but WePay is obviously the cheaper option.
What experience do you have with either service? Obviously in the future I would be moving to a direct merchant account to cut costs down a percentage point, but right now I'm looking towards RAD more than anything else.

- debacle 15y agoAh! I didn't know that they had to go through WePay to make payment. That's good to know.
- kkt262 15y agoIf you're setting up some kind of online storefront, Stripe is definitely the way to go. They have a wonderful API that you should be able to easily incorporate into your site.
