FAQs
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 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 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.
