Eway Payment Gateway

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 88% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   The official plugin never worked for me. Check out the repository for this and much better, more documented, more options. Definitely better.

   Hello, Your plugin works mostly as described however I do not think your statement of it “supporting Pre-Auth” transactions is accurate. It supports Pre-Auth transactions but you are unable to then “capture” those transactions from within WooCommerce. You have to login to eWay separately and then manually compare the transactions from WooCommerce to the eWay Pre-Auths (in the eway dashboard) and then manually capture them in eWay one by one by one. When dealing with 10 or so per day is no issue but when dealing with 20-30+ per day that starts to become a major oversight and issue. Shopify’s eWay integration supports the Authorization and later Capture of pre-auth transactions. I don’t understand why your WooCommerce plugin cannot do the same from within WooCommerce? For that reason its a 3 star at this point in my book.

   dumped the official woocommerce for one reason – this plugin allows you to add credit card form on checkout page instead of new page

   Absolutely terrible company to deal with. Support is hopeless and slow. There are far better options out there. Just bad 0/5

   If I could give 0 stars I would. The worst company I have ever dealt with. No problem signing up, but when it comes to releasing your money they make you jump through hoops. Has taken me almost a month to retrieve my funds – after closing my account with eway. Will not be recommending anyone.
