WePay at Ecommerce Hack Day

We were excited to sponsor Ecommerce Hack Day in NYC on August 4th, 2012. It was a competitive 24 hour hackathon which resulted in ~29 submissions, 17 of which had a payments integration. And of those 17 payments integrations, we were delighted to find that the WePay API was used in 8!  This is a tweet from over that weekend: “The @wepay api has been the leading choice for the @ehd demos.”

Without further ado, here were the winning WePay API integrations from Ecommerce Hack Day:

TicketFu led by Holly Chen is an app which allows people to buy last minute tickets for Broadway shows and other events. The TicketFU team won a Macbook Pro!

Jeff Uthaichai and Rafael Gonzaque’s Team Mageful created a Magento plugin for the WePay API that won our plugin award. His plugin will be added to our gallery and his team won an iPad!

Huge thanks to all the participants who unleashed their skill and creativity and thanks also to Etsy and Dwolla for hosting!
