eWAY for WooCommerce POS
eWAY — the Australian card gateway — at the Oliver POS for WooCommerce.
Powered through the eWAY Payment Gateway for WooCommerce plugin — install it on WordPress, configure under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments, and Oliver picks it up at the register automatically.
How eWAY works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce
eWAY is one of the most-used online card gateways in Australia and New Zealand. Oliver POS opens eWAY's hosted Responsive Shared Page inside the in-POS browser view via the official WooCommerce plugin.
eWAY in Australia and New Zealand
eWAY has been processing online card payments in Australia since 1998 and is one of the most trusted gateway brands in the ANZ market. It's the default for many small and mid-market WooCommerce retailers, particularly those who set up their stores before Stripe Australia became dominant.
eWAY in the Oliver POS browser view
The eWAY WooCommerce plugin opens eWAY's "Responsive Shared Page" — a hosted, mobile-friendly card-entry page. From the Oliver register, the cashier picks eWAY; Oliver opens the page in the in-POS browser view; the customer enters card details or taps Apple Pay/Google Pay; eWAY processes through your underlying Australian acquirer (typically one of the major Australian banks); Oliver writes the WooCommerce order.
Australian Big-Four bank relationships
eWAY works on top of merchant accounts at all the major Australian banks (CBA, NAB, ANZ, Westpac). For an Australian retailer who already has a bank-issued merchant account, eWAY is often the path of least resistance to add WooCommerce — and now, with Oliver, the POS layer on top.
Best fit for retailers who…
Pick eWAY at the Oliver POS if you're an Australian or NZ retailer with an existing eWAY relationship, or if you're evaluating Australian gateways and want a long-established option with strong bank-merchant-account support.
