Announcing the Directus Payments Hackathon

This March we invite you to showcase your creative and technical skills to build and publish extensions related to payments and billing.

Today we are announcing the first of a few Directus hackathons this year. Following the success of the Directus AI and Panel Quest Hackathons, this March we invite you to showcase your creative and technical skills to build and publish extensions related to payments and billing. As a bonus, you’ll be one of the first few extension authors on the brand new Directus Marketplace.

The Challenge

Participants are encouraged to integrate with payment service providers such as Stripe, Braintree, or Adyen, create and manage referral or coupon systems, automate messaging for events like payments and abandoned carts, and support credit control and reporting, among other ideas. If it relates to payments and billing, we want to see it!

While Directus serves as an excellent companion to e-commerce platforms like Shopify and Medusa, our goal with this hackathon is not to replicate the full suite of e-commerce functionalities. Instead, we're interested in extensions that enhance, innovate, and simplify the payments and billing processes for Directus users.

Prizes That Make a Difference

As well as two cash prizes selected by the Directus Core Team and Community, we are again having winners select a charity to receive a donation. Last year, we donated thousands to codebar - a charity offering free technical workshops to increase diversity in tech, and Cool Earth who work with rainforest communities, tackles the root causes of deforestation, and protects vital carbon sinks.

Get Started

You can submit projects until the end of March, and find more information at directus.io/hackathons.
