Housecall Pro
Process service payments with Helcim alongside Housecall Pro.
About Extension
Housecall Pro is a robust field service management platform that streamlines scheduling, dispatching, and invoicing for home service companies like HVAC and plumbing. Integrating the Helcim Payment Extension with Housecall Pro lets you benefit from transparent interchange-plus pricing for all transactions, saving money compared to the high flat-rate fees of Housecall Pro's default payment system.
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 Housecall Pro 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 processes payments through Helcim while Housecall Pro continues to manage scheduling, invoices, and customer communication. Transactions are handled and deposited in Helcim, while service data remains in Housecall Pro. Refunds or payment changes made outside Housecall Pro may require manual updates. Invoice currency must match your Helcim account currency. This integration allows businesses to replace Housecall Pro’s default processor with Helcim’s lower-cost solution.
