Submission Guidelines - razorpay/ftx-hackathon GitHub Wiki

What you should work on

  • A new product idea that uses Razorpay APIs
  • An alternative to an existing product/service using Razorpay APIs
  • Extending and improving an existing Razorpay APIs, SDKs or integrations and plugins (e.g. Can we power interesting payment analytics solutions on razorpay magento integration) (@nemo, please check if this is even acceptable)

What you should not work on

  • Something that doesn't use Razorpay APIs.
  • Payment acceptance integrations. Creating an e-commerce website that lets you pay for products is not innovation.
  • Token usage of Razorpay APIs. Something that feels like you put the API on top of a completely different product.
  • Anything that goes against the Razorpay Terms of Service

Is there a theme

No, there is no mandatory theme for the Hackathon - feel free to create anything as long as it fits within the Submission Guidelines.

Remember, the more innovative the idea - the better your chances of winning are.

Usage of past work

We encourage you to submit projects only prepared in the duration of the hackathon. However, if you decide to submit projects consisting of re-used code, or re-submit a project that you have already submitted previously to any other hackathon, you are to disclose such previous use and its extent with the submission.

If upon inspection, it is found that the project has re-used code that was not disclosed with the submission, the organizer may ask the participant to point out similarities and differences between the old and new work, and/or disqualify the submission from winning awards automatically.
