About extension
The Helcim Payment Extension brings Helcim's transparent interchange-plus pricing directly into Curve Dental, letting dental practices accept in-person and online payments without leaving their practice management workflow — cutting processing costs and eliminating the need for a separate payment platform.
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 Curve Dental 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 Curve Dental continues to manage scheduling, patient records, charting, imaging, and bookkeeping. Transactions sync into Helcim for reporting and deposits, while your records remain in Curve Dental. Refunds or adjustments made outside Curve Dental may require manual updates, and invoice currency must match your Helcim account currency. This lets you replace Curve Dental's default payment processor with Helcim's lower-cost solution while keeping your existing workflow intact.
