Hi Keith - I'm sorry the shutdown is disruptive to your business. Discontinuing our direct-to-merchant products was a tough call for us and something we debated intensely.

At the end of the day, unlike Stripe which is building broader payment functionality - we're trying to provide payments for a very focused usecase: platforms (like marketplaces, crowdfunding sites, small business software, etc)

Any product that isn't directly working towards that takes resources away from our platform work. In addition, because it isn't our core focus, it won't be a best-in-class product. That's why we made the tough call to do this.

If there's anything I can do to help make the transition to Stripe or anyone else easier, please let me know - bill@wepay.com Thanks for being a customer.
