eCommerce store owners using the popular Magento software to power their website can now accept online payments seamlessly through Australia’s leading payment services provider, eWAY.

eWAY has partnered with the eBay-owned company to enhance the customer and merchant experience of online retailing, by launching a new eWAY payments extension which is available now on Magento Connect, Magento’s online extension marketplace.

Magento, an eBay Enterprise company, is the leading ecommerce platform for fast growing retailers serving more than 240,000 merchants worldwide. It is supported by a global ecosystem of solution partners and third-party developers.

eWAY created a new, innovative payment extension that makes setup simple, improves integration and security, and makes the customer checkout experience frictionless — ultimately helping Magento merchants sell more online.

Magento merchants can now take advantage of state-of-the-art fraud protection through deep integration with eWAY’s Beagle fraud prevention systems. Processing refunds and chargebacks has now become more streamlined with eWAY’s new payments extension on Magento.

The initial two-week trial yielded overwhelming positive feedback from merchants who say they are now able to give their customers more options to accept payments online with minimum effort.

“Everything we do at eWAY is focused on making the experience for merchants and their customers frictionless, and that’s what this module does,” Matt Bullock, CEO of eWAY, said.

“We work with the largest network of eCommerce partners in Australia, and working with Magento has been particularly rewarding. We’re really pleased to be able to help them improve their products for their customers.”

During development of the module, eWAY worked closely with Magento customers of all sizes to ensure the module would be well received upon launch following beta.

Jeff Herrera, Head of Partner Marketing at Magento, said of the partnership:

“Fraud prevention and the continued development of risk management tools are of critical importance to merchants. eWAY’s new payment extension provides merchants with enhanced fraud protection and increased efficiencies to make the consumer buying experience as easy as possible.”
