You can see the product in action over at StartupTees.com, who are using it to sell their especially geeky variety of Web startup merchandise. On their site, browsing items and adding them to the shopping cart are done seamlessly via a lightbox-style pop out. To finish the transaction, users are taken to a page hosted on WePay.com.
The company also launched the beta of its new checkout API, which it began rolling out to select developers this week, enabling them to build deeper integration between company’s Websites and the WePay payment platform.
WePay’s pricing model foregoes set-up fees and monthly charges in favor of having users pay 3.5% of every transaction made.
