What it does
GetPaid handles invoices and payment forms on a WordPress site, but it needs a gateway to actually move money. This add-on supplies eWAY as that gateway. Once it is configured, customers paying a GetPaid invoice or checkout can enter their card details and complete the payment through eWAY. It accepts major cards such as Visa, MasterCard and American Express, and the settings are written with non-technical site owners in mind.
On the processing side, eWAY brings its own fraud prevention technology to screen transactions, along with fast settlements and flat-rate transaction fees. The plugin can also store token customer IDs and charge them automatically, which helps when you bill the same customer more than once. It fits sites that already run GetPaid and want an eWAY account as their card processor, from a single small business to someone looking after several client sites.
Best for
- WordPress sites already using GetPaid for invoicing
- Australian businesses with an eWAY merchant account
- Freelancers and agencies billing clients by credit card

Questions about eWAY Payment Gateway
Do I need GetPaid for this to work?
Yes. This plugin is an add-on for GetPaid and works as a payment gateway inside it. GetPaid provides the invoices and payment forms, and this add-on lets those payments be processed through eWAY.
Which cards can my customers pay with?
The gateway accepts all major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Customers enter their card details when paying a GetPaid invoice or form, and eWAY processes the transaction.
Can it charge returning customers automatically?
It can. The plugin supports setting token customer IDs in eWAY and auto-charging them, so a saved customer can be billed again without re-entering card details each time.
