How Eway became the reliable foundation behind Farm Work Australia’s growth

Chris Warburton founded Farm Work Australia, a national online job board that connects farms and regional businesses with workers across Australia. Because employers pay to advertise roles on the platform, payments need to be reliable, secure and fully automated. Chris wanted a solution that would allow customers to pay online, while eliminating the need for manual invoicing, payment follow-ups, and reconciliation.

Since implementing Eway’s online payment gateway solution, Farm Work Australia has:

• Automated employer listing payments through its website
• Eliminated hours of manual invoicing and reconciliation
• Delivered a secure and trustworthy checkout experience
• Reduced admin workload as the business grows
• Gained confidence to scale without increasing operational complexity

“If you’re running an online business and want a secure, reliable, and scalable payment solution, Eway is a strong choice.”

– Chris Warburton, Founder, Farm Work Australia

The challenge

As an online business, Farm Work Australia needed a payment solution that could collect payments automatically while providing a seamless customer experience.

Without an integrated online payment gateway, Chris would have spent valuable time manually issuing invoices, reconciling payments and following up outstanding accounts. As the business grew, this process would become increasingly difficult to manage.

Finding a trusted Australian payment provider that could integrate with WordPress and support future growth was a key priority.

Finding the right payment partner

Farm Work Australia selected Eway’s online payment gateway to securely process employer listing payments directly through its website.

Chris’ decision to choose Eway came down to a few non-negotiables:

• A trusted Australian provider
• Seamless WordPress integration
• Secure payment processing and fraud protection
• A simple and smooth checkout experience for customers
• Local support when needed

“Without an integrated gateway, we would have spent several hours per week manually reconciling invoices and chasing payments. Automation was critical from day one.”

– Chris Warburton, Founder, Farm Work Australia

Getting started was straightforward. Clear documentation and responsive support helped Farm Work Australia integrate Eway into its website quickly and begin accepting payments with minimal disruption.

Since launch, the platform has delivered the reliability and stability Chris was looking for.

Building for growth

As Farm Work Australia continues to connect employers and workers across Australia, having a dependable payment solution in place allows Chris to focus on growing the business rather than managing transactions behind the scenes.

Eway provides confidence that payments will be processed securely, customers will enjoy a seamless checkout experience, and support is available when needed.

“The professionalism and responsiveness of the support team have stood out. It’s reassuring to work with an Australian-based provider that understands local businesses and offers real support when needed.”

– Chris Warburton

His advice to other businesses needing online payments: “Eway allows you to automate online payments from day one, improve cash flow, and focus on growing your business instead of chasing invoices.”
