Australia is one of the most contactless card markets in the world, and phone wallets are routine at the kerb. For a transfer company that means card-on-booking is expected, not a novelty, and a payment link sent after a phone booking gets paid quickly.
Australian-registered companies can open both a Stripe and an Airwallex account at home, and PayPal accepts AUD, so all four gateways in TransferArc (Stripe, Airwallex, Revolut Business and PayPal) are open to an Australian operator. eftpos, the domestic debit scheme, is not offered as a separate method through these gateways; customers pay by Visa, Mastercard, Amex or a phone wallet.
