Add a shortcode to a page

Pay Now Buttons can be added to any WordPress page or post using a shortcode. A shortcode is a special WordPress tag that you type into a page to add special content to it.

NB: sometimes copying and pasting shortcodes from web pages into the WordPress editor can get strange results. We recommend that you always change the editor to the Text view before adding shortcodes.

[paynow_button_eway label="Pay Now #amount#" fields="amount,email,phone,invoiceref,invoicedescription"]

And here’s what that looks like:






You can even try it, with a test card number like 4444333322221111. This one is connected to the eWAY sandbox, so no real charges will be recorded.
