E Gateway integration (an Australian payment processor)

Thanks @creedon  for your reply. I was under the impression I could integrate a 'buy now' E Way button to Squarespace (a bit like a Shopify 'Buy Now' button). The problem I have is that my client asked me to build her e-commerce site in Squarespace (which I have completed), but now she has decided she only wants to use Eway as the payment processor because it's Australian (not any of the built-in Squarespace options)... tearing my hair out a bit!

To accept credit card payments on Squarespace commerce, your client must use Stripe.

To use Eway for an ecommerce solution, you need to integrate their API, and it simply isn't possible to add this to Squarespace. It goes against their business model; they want anyone to be able to build a beautiful online presence, supporting full-scale e-commerce, without needing to understand APIs, PCI compliance or anything like that. 

Regarding Eway's "Pay Now" buttons, as I understand it, these are only for accepting pre-determined payment amounts, like donations. Eway isn't a commerce solution so, unlike the Shopify Buy Buttons, there's no backend to create an order, remove items from inventory, and so on.
