The Westpac PayWay NET Payment Gateway allows you to use Westpac PayWay NET as a credit card processor via their shopping cart process (see note). This gateway also works with St. George bank.
Process Visa and Mastercard by default, and optionally accept American Express, Diners Club and JCB after further activation by Westpac.
This gateway supports two integration methods. Trusted Frame is the newer and preferred integration. The gateway generates a credit card form in an iFrame on your checkout page. The disadvantage is that it is slightly harder to style (though you can add custom styles via the plugin configuration). Direct Post is the older integration method and is easier to style, however requires the credit card collection to take place on a separate page after the checkout page.
In both integration methods, the customer’s credit card details are sent directly from your site page to the bank’s servers via a secure connection without any credit card details coming in contact with your server, so no need to worry about complex PCI compliance.
Note: Another extension is available if you wish to use the more seamless Westpac PayWay API integration.
