Frequently asked questions

How much does the Eway WooCommerce plugin cost?

The official Eway extension is free to install directly from the WooCommerce

Marketplace. You won’t pay an upfront fee for the software itself. Instead, you only pay for what you use with Eway’s flat-rate pricing: 1.5% + 25c per transaction for domestic Visa and Mastercard. There are no monthly subscriptions or hidden gateway fees, making it a cost-effective, one-stop shop for businesses looking to keep overheads low while they scale.

Are there any setup fees or lock-in contracts for using Eway with WooCommerce?

No. We believe our service should earn your business every day, which is why we offer a transparent, pay-as-you-go model. There are no setup fees to get started and no restrictive lock-in contracts that prevent you from making the best decisions for your store. We give you the flexibility to grow at your own pace, supported by a reliable WooCommerce payment gateway Australia-wide.

Does Eway support Apple Pay and Google Pay in Woo?

Yes. Eway supports Apple Pay and Google Pay within Woo, allowing eligible customers to complete purchases using their preferred digital wallet. These payment methods can help streamline checkout by reducing the need to manually enter payment details. Availability depends on customer device, browser and payment account settings.

Does Eway support WooCommerce Subscriptions for recurring billing?

Yes. Eway is fully compatible with the WooCommerce Subscriptions extension to help you build predictable revenue. Our system works in the background, using secure tokenisation to handle recurring payments without forcing your customers to re-enter their details. It’s the ultimate “set and forget” solution for memberships or subscription models.

Can I process refunds directly from WooCommerce?

Yes. Eligible refunds can be processed directly through WooCommerce, helping simplify payment administration and customer service workflows.

Can I test the Eway WooCommerce integration before going live?

Absolutely. You shouldn’t have to “guess” if your checkout works. We provide a free Sandbox testing environment where you or your developer can run unlimited test transactions. This lets you verify that everything, from the customer UX to the Xero accounting sync, is flawless before you take a single real dollar.

How can I switch to Eway from another payment gateway without losing saved customer card details?

Moving shouldn’t mean starting from zero. As a PCI DSS Level 1 provider, Eway can facilitate a secure data migration of your existing customer tokens from platforms like Stripe or PayPal. This means your customers’ saved cards stay active, and your subscription billing continues without a hitch. Talk to our local, Australian-based support team, and we’ll see how we can make the transition frictionless.

Does Eway for WooCommerce support Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) options like Afterpay or Zip?

Eway lets you accept credit card payments in WooCommerce but does not process BNPL options like Afterpay or Zip directly. BNPL options can be added separately through their own WooCommerce plugins or payment gateways. That means you can offer Afterpay or Zip alongside Eway at checkout, so your customers have more ways to pay.

Can I accept payments in multiple currencies through WooCommerce with Eway?

Yes. Eway can support multiple currencies through WooCommerce, provided your Eway account and merchant facility are configured for each currency you want to process. For Australian merchants, this generally requires an internet merchant facility with NAB; for New Zealand, BNZ. Once configured, you can offer international customers a more localised checkout experience while using Eway to process eligible card payments in supported currencies.

What support is available if I have trouble setting up Eway on my WooCommerce store?

If you hit a snag, you won’t be stuck talking to a chatbot. You’ll have access to our local, Australian-based support team via phone or email during business hours. For critical issues, we provide 24/7 emergency technical support to ensure your store never misses a sale.

    WooCommerce Limitations - who would run PHP7.4 these days I am a long term user of Eway and use it in other stand alone applications outside the Wordpress ecosystem. The Eway plugin and Woocommerce recommend using PHP7.4 - This is well past end of life and there are no security updates being made available. This makes an ecommerce website extremely exposed to hacking. I run PHP 8.2 on my C-Panel server - not the bleeding edge but a level sufficient to give me a year of so before I need to upgrade. The Eway plugin throws a number of exceptions and does not work in this environment. I have spoken to Eway who duplicated the error and who contacted WooCommerce. I was told to roll back to PHP7.4 - thats not going to happen. So I have had to turn off credit card processing as I was losing a lot of sales. I have had to invest in a new paid shopping cart system that is compatible with Eway and has an add on plugin for Wordpress. And now I have to learn a new program and recode the payments page but my testing shows it to be much more modern, faster and more reliable. Given that WooCommerce and Wordpress each are back in the stoneage and resist using modern versions of software I have to really question whether I will stay with Wordpress in the longer term. Trying to keep a package that requires 20 odd plugins from different developers to run properly is becoming sonething of a nightmare. Paul

    Does NOT support Authorise and Capture The documentation gets rather vague about the feature that they call pre auth and while EWAY does have preauth it is not built into the plugin. The support person was very good and while he did have to deliver the bad news that I had wasted my time signing up it was prompt.

    Plugin does not process payment on the checkout page but takes the customer to another page after checkout process to complete order!
