About Extension
Gingr is a business management platform for pet boarding, daycare, and grooming facilities. Helcim enables secure and efficient payment collection for bookings and services.
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 Gingr 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!

Lower processing costs

How it works with Helcim
The Helcim Payment Extension enables payments to be processed through Helcim while Gingr continues to manage bookings, pet records, and billing workflows. Transactions are reported and deposited in Helcim, while customer and pet data remain in Gingr. Refunds or adjustments made outside Gingr may require manual updates. Invoice currency must match your Helcim account currency. This allows pet care businesses to streamline payments while maintaining their existing operations.
