Overview

If your organization relies on CiviCRM to manage memberships and donations, having a dependable payment processor is non-negotiable. The eWAY Recurring Payment Processor extension by Agileware bridges the gap between CiviCRM and the eWAY payment gateway. Built to utilize the latest eWAY Rapid API, this plugin delivers a robust and highly secure way to handle both one-off transactions and automated recurring payments.

By using secure tokenization and the Responsive Shared Page method, the extension ensures high-level PCI DSS compliance. Sensitive credit card information is processed directly by eWAY and never stored on your own servers. This protects your supporters' data while giving your organization a reliable, hands-off tool to automate important revenue streams like monthly giving campaigns and yearly subscription renewals.

Features

  • One-off and Recurring Transactions: Easily handle standard single payments or fully automate ongoing membership and donation schedules to eliminate manual invoicing.
  • Complete eWAY Rapid API Integration: Connects your CiviCRM environment to eWAY using their most up-to-date and secure API for fast transaction handling.
  • Token-Based Security: Credit card details are securely tokenized, keeping your website compliant with strict PCI standards and ensuring peace of mind for your users.
  • Custom Processing Dates: Want to consolidate your billing? The plugin adds a specific field to your contribution pages that lets you set an exact day of the month for all recurring payments to be processed together.
  • Automated Retry Logic for Failed Payments: Minimize lost revenue from temporary card declines or bank errors. You can configure the system to automatically retry failed transactions, giving you control over the maximum number of retry attempts and the delay between them.
  • Pending Transaction Verification: Sometimes a donor completes a payment but closes their browser before clicking the "Return to Merchant" button. The extension includes a background verification job that checks eWAY for pending transactions, ensuring successful payments are accurately recorded in your CRM without manual reconciliation.
  • Simplified Subscription Management: Administrators can easily jump into CiviCRM to change a donor's next scheduled payment date or reactivate a previously failed contribution, bypassing the need to manage those changes inside the eWAY merchant portal.
