About Extension
Tekmetric is a modern, SaaS-driven workshop management system that enables auto service centers to manage operations, estimates, inventory, and repair processes in one platform. Connecting to Helcim's Payment Extension lets you cut out the high fees typically charged by built-in payment processors, providing a secure, automated system for capturing on-site and online customer payments at a fraction of the cost.
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 Tekmetric 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 allows payments to be processed through Helcim while Tekmetric remains the system of record for repair orders, customer details, and service history. Payment transactions are processed and deposited in Helcim, while invoices and job tracking remain in Tekmetric. Refunds or payment changes made outside Tekmetric may require manual reconciliation. Invoice currency must match your Helcim account currency to ensure successful processing. This integration allows shops to replace Tekmetric’s default payment processor while keeping their existing workflows intact.
