G’day,
That would be a very insecure way to send credit card details, and would likely breach the contract with your bank. Too easy to have credit card details intercepted by crooks. Better to get the credit card details to process manually after you’ve accepted the deposit and made contact with the customer.
Sometime early October I’ll have a premium version of this plugin that will support eWAY’s Token Payments, and that will allow you to create a customer within eWAY that remembers the credit cart details and allows you to rebill them. Talk to eWAY about this, and check back with me in October.
cheers,

Hi.
Well I have my current website which has been doing that already for 5 years, old web designers set that up. Just this time I have re-built my website myself.
“Better to get the credit card details to process manually after you’ve accepted the deposit and made contact with the customer.”
That’s what I want to do.
I don’t want eWay to auto process the balance, I will do that manually after the deposit. I want my booking form to just process $100 regardless of the quote, and then send me the details at the same time for me to manually do the a balance in the future 1 week before the party. That is how my current booking from has been working(built by previous web designers) and never had a problem.
G’day,
Don’t tell your bank that 🙂 they’ll have a fit! And might cancel your merchant facility.
If you’re handy with PHP, you could create a filter hook for gfeway_invoice_desc, grab the details from the form, and email them to yourself. But don’t do that or your bank will cry and you might expose your customers’ card details to crooks.
eWAY will only process the amount in the Total or Product field, so set up a Product field with a set price of $100, then calculate your quote in a number field that gets sent to you in the GF email. eWAY will get the $100 to process, not the full quote.
cheers,

Hi Ross,
I am trying to setup my booking form now.
I worked out how to add a number field and make the quote calculate itself there.
(…by adding a number field and ‘enable calculation’ check box, then selecting all the fields I want added together.)
I also worked out how to add a product of $100 for the deposit which adds itself to the final quote without clicking anything, so it defaults $100 when you open the booking form.
PROBLEM
The quote now calculates in the ‘price total’ AND the ‘number’ fields.
I cannot stop the quote from calculating itself into the (/pricing fields/total) because that is how it works by default. Any way to get around this?
G’day,
You need to make the quote just numbers, not products. The Total field will always pick up any products that are selected, so just make your quote pieces straight numbers instead, for calculation but not for sales.
cheers,
Ross
