What it is
WePay provides payment infrastructure for independent software vendors and software platforms that help small businesses get paid. Its payment flow covers merchant onboarding, processing, and withdrawals to users’ bank accounts. Platforms can choose Clear, Link, or Core integrations and use APIs to onboard merchants and process payments. Link supports iframe or custom payment interfaces, hosted merchant onboarding and identity-check flows, and tokenization for card, bank account, and digital wallet information. A custom checkout can also support a platform’s branded payment experience. The Merchant Center handles onboarding, transactions, reporting, chargebacks, and user access. WePay describes flexible payouts and same-day deposits; deposits to a Chase bank account carry no additional cost for the platform. It supports most domestic and international cards with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, or Diners Club logos. Merchants generally open accounts through a platform partner, not through direct integration. Availability in the U.S. and Canada varies by partner. Link is described as being in closed beta, and pricing is available on request.
