Payments to ECAWA
Making payments to ECAWA
Although we offer a range of payment options, ECAWA prefers to receive payments by Credit Card online.
ECAWA is pleased to receive payments by Credit Card online via ECAWeb, during the purchasing process. Simply choose “Credit Card” as your form of payment and make the payment immediately.
Payments via ECAWeb are processed by the “Stripe” payment facility, operated in Australia by the NAB, and ECAWA does not receive or retain your credit card information.
If you wish to make a Credit Card payment and were not able to do this as part of the purchasing process on the website please call the Secretary on the telephone number that is on your ECAWA Tsx Invoice (look at the bottom of the page).
If you attempt to make a Credit Card payment online via ECAWeb and see a message “blank string passed” or similar please check the card details you have entered carefully, as this message is usually the result of a “typo” or using a Credit Card that has passed the expiry date.
The “blank string passed” or similar message means that your payment has failed, and your purchase will not go ahead until a successful payment has been made.
