eWAY is an Australian provider.  All amounts will be in AUD unless configured differently within your merchant account.

NOTE:  eWAY will not work under medium trust. You will need to use full trust for this gateway to function.

Post-order Processing

All AbleCommerce payment gateway integrations offer full support for post-order processing.  This means that after an order is placed, you can authorize, capture, refund, and void transactions from the AbleCommerce order administration area.

Some post-order processing features, such as refunds, may require that you enable credit card storage from the Security > System Settings page.
