A Quick Update

I find it delightful that my first blog post in the new year is to share with you the near completion of business requirements for CiviHR Recruitment. For the story so far, please catch up here.

eWay is an australian payment processor that provides a seamless connection with many banks and allows for recurring payments, token payments etc.

CiviCRM has had a one off payments processor for eWay for a long time, but has lacked one for recurring payments and now it is finally here!
