About Extension
Zenbooker helps service businesses manage online bookings and customer scheduling. Helcim allows businesses to accept payments without disrupting booking workflows.
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 ZenBooker 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!

Features
Helcim allows Zenbooker users to take in-person card payments using Helcim’s card readers—something Zenbooker's own payment tools do not support.
Reduce your cost per transaction by using Helcim’s transparent interchange-plus pricing instead of Zenbooker's built-in payment processor. You also have the ability to pass on your processing fees for card-present transactions effectively removing the processing fees for the payments.
All Helcim transactions—online and in-person—sync to your Helcim dashboard for simple tracking and clearer reporting.
How it works with Helcim
The Helcim Payment Extension processes payments through Helcim while Zenbooker continues to manage bookings, customer details, and scheduling. Transactions are handled and deposited in Helcim, while booking data remains in Zenbooker. Refunds or changes made outside Zenbooker may require manual updates. Invoice currency must match your Helcim account currency. This setup adds payment flexibility without altering how bookings are managed.

Follow the guide that appears after downloading the extension. It will prompt you to log in to your Helcim account to sync the extension, and then select a currency.
If you have a Card Reader Gen 3 or Smart Terminal, you can pair it by copy-pasting your 4-digit device code onto your Payment Extensions tab in ZenBooker.
