About Extension
Acusimple is practice management software designed for acupuncture clinics, supporting scheduling, SOAP notes, and billing workflows. With Helcim, practitioners can securely collect patient payments while keeping clinical and administrative processes centralized in Acusimple.
The Helcim Payment Extension is an independent productivity tool designed to help you work more efficiently across your favorite platforms. Please note that this extension is not a direct API integration and is not officially sponsored, authorized, or endorsed by Acusimple or the third-party software providers it supports. Instead, it acts as a smart bridge in your browser, automating the manual entry of your Helcim payment data into other apps to save you time. We are proud to offer this innovative solution to give you more flexibility and choice in how you manage your business data!

How it works with Helcim
The Helcim Payment Extension enables payments to be processed through Helcim while Acusimple continues to manage appointments, charting, and billing workflows. Transactions are reported and deposited in Helcim, while patient records remain in Acusimple. Refunds or payment adjustments made outside Acusimple may require manual updates. Invoice currency must match your Helcim account currency. This allows practitioners to maintain a simple, integrated clinic workflow while using Helcim for lower-cost payment processing.
