How to send emails in eWay recurring payment?

Question

I am using eWay payment gateway. I have done recurring payment using eway php rebill source from their site & is working fine. But how would i send emails(custom) to the user? Also i would want to maintain these transactions in database. Is there something like Paypal's IPN in eWay?

Answer 1

If you'd like to send a custom email to the user you'll need to do that separate from the recurring billing process. Unfortunately there isn't a notification of payment events, the closest you could get would be to do a regular QueryTransactions to get recent transactions.

Alternatively if you would like more flexibility and control, you could store your user's card details as Tokens in eWAY, then manage the scheduling in your application.
