Subscription business

Recuron + eWAY for Subscription Direct Debit Recurring subscription billing with Australian direct debit

Challenge: A subscription business wants to collect recurring payments via direct debit from Australian customers, with failed payment retry logic and dunning automation.

Solution: Recuron manages the subscription lifecycle — plans, trials, billing cycles — and uses eWAY as the payment processor for both credit card tokenisation and BECS direct debit collection from Australian bank accounts.

Result: Recurring revenue collected automatically. Failed payment retries and customer notifications handled by Recuron and eWAY without staff involvement.

online retailer

Sellwise Online Store Payments E-commerce checkout with Australian gateway

Challenge: An online retailer wants to accept credit card payments on their Sellwise store using an Australian gateway with local merchant acquiring rates.

Solution: eWAY configured as the payment gateway for the Sellwise checkout. Customers pay via credit or debit card. Tokenised cards stored for repeat customers. All transactions reconcile automatically in Hykmah.

Result: Checkout with a familiar Australian gateway. Merchant acquiring rates via eWAY's Australian banking relationships. Full PCI compliance maintained without additional overhead.

B2B payments

B2B Invoice Payment via Orderlink B2B customers paying invoices online via card or direct debit

Challenge: B2B customers using Orderlink want to pay invoices online via credit card or direct debit rather than EFT with manual remittance matching.

Solution: Orderlink invoices include an eWAY-powered pay-now link. B2B customers pay by card or direct debit. Hykmah marks the invoice as paid automatically and updates the customer account balance.

Result: Debtor days reduce as B2B customers pay online immediately. Manual remittance matching eliminated.

BECS Direct Debit for Australian Recurring Payments

Collect subscription and recurring payments directly from Australian bank accounts via BECS Direct Debit. Bank account details stored as eWAY tokens — no raw BSB or account numbers stored in Hykmah. Mandate management, debit retries, and failure handling built in.

Recuron + eWAY — Full Subscription Lifecycle

Recuron manages subscription plans, billing cycles, and dunning logic. eWAY handles the payment collection. Failed payments trigger Recuron's automated dunning sequences using eWAY retry logic. No staff involvement required for routine billing cycles.

eWAY Beagle Fraud Protection

eWAY Beagle fraud scoring runs automatically on every transaction. Hykmah receives the fraud score and applies your configured rules — automatically block high-risk transactions, flag medium-risk for manual review, or allow with logging. Configurable thresholds per business risk profile.

Australian Support in AEST Hours

Unlike international gateways, eWAY provides local Australian support during AEST business hours. Settlements in AUD with AEST timestamps throughout Hykmah transaction records.

Does eWAY support Australian direct debit (BECS)?

Yes. eWAY supports BECS Direct Debit for collecting from Australian bank accounts. This is particularly relevant for Recuron subscription billing where customers prefer direct debit over card payments. Bank account details are stored as eWAY tokens — no raw BSB or account numbers stored in Hykmah.

Is this integration PCI DSS compliant?

Yes. Hykmah uses eWAY's Rapid API with tokenisation. Raw card data is never transmitted through or stored in Hykmah. All sensitive payment data is handled by eWAY's PCI DSS Level 1 certified infrastructure.

How does eWAY fraud detection work with Hykmah?

eWAY Beagle fraud scoring runs automatically on every transaction. Hykmah receives the fraud score and applies your configured rules — automatically block high-risk transactions, flag medium-risk for manual review, or allow with logging.

Can I use eWAY with Recuron for subscription billing?

Yes. This is one of the primary use cases. Recuron manages the subscription lifecycle and billing schedule. eWAY handles the actual payment collection for each billing cycle. Failed payments trigger Recuron's automated dunning sequences using eWAY retry logic.

Does Hykmah support eWAY's shared payment page?

Yes. For businesses that prefer not to host a payment form, eWAY's shared payment page (hosted page) is supported. The customer is redirected to eWAY's secure page for card entry, then returned to Hykmah on completion.

Is there a cost for the eWAY integration?

No. The eWAY integration is included in Hykmah Professional ($50/month AUD), Premium and Enterprise at no additional cost. eWAY's standard transaction fees apply separately.

Payments declining unexpectedly

Card expired, insufficient funds, or eWAY Beagle fraud block.

Fix: Check eWAY response codes in Hykmah's payment log at Settings → Payments → Transaction Log. For Beagle blocks, review fraud threshold settings at Settings → Integrations → eWAY → Fraud. Adjust thresholds if legitimate transactions are being blocked.

Direct debit transactions not processing

BECS Direct Debit not enabled on eWAY merchant account, or bank account token invalid.

Fix: Confirm BECS Direct Debit is enabled on your eWAY merchant account — contact eWAY if unsure. Check the bank account token is valid in the customer record. Note that BECS direct debit typically settles in 3 business days.

Recurring billing not triggering on schedule

Recuron subscription not in Active state, next billing date incorrect, or customer payment method expired.

Fix: Check the Recuron subscription status in Hykmah — verify it is Active and the next billing date is correct. Check the customer's payment method is valid and not expired. Review the Recuron billing log for failed attempt records.

Settlement figures not matching eWAY portal

Hykmah pulls settlement data from eWAY daily — allow up to 24 hours for settlement records to sync.

Fix: Allow up to 24 hours for settlement records to appear in Hykmah. For persistent discrepancies, compare individual transaction IDs between Hykmah's payment log and the eWAY transactions report to identify unmatched records.
