Frequently asked questions.
-
Yes. Helcim is fully PCI compliant, ensuring that client payment information is handled with the highest level of security. Best of all, we don't charge "compliance fees" or monthly subscriptions just to keep your data safe.
-
Yes. Whether pet owners are paying for a single visit, a multi-visit treatment plan, or a recurring boarding or grooming package, Helcim makes it seamless. Our platform supports recurring billing, package payments, and one-time charges, so you can manage every billing scenario without workarounds.
-
Helcim integrates with popular practice management platforms. Our Payment Extension is a no-code browser extension that lets you use your Helcim merchant account with the software you already love — directly from your browser. No technical setup required.
-
We designed Helcim to be intuitive, not intimidating. Because it integrates with your current software, it actually removes steps from your workflow rather than adding them. We provide full onboarding resources and a dedicated support team to ensure your staff feels confident from day one, even during a morning rush.
-
We know the "silent fear" of discrepancies at month-end. Helcim provides transparent, real-time reporting that aligns with your bank deposits. By removing manual data entry through our integration, the risk of human error—like refunding the wrong charge or losing track of a transaction—is virtually eliminated.
-
Chargebacks shouldn't be a mystery. Helcim provides a clear dashboard where you can see the status of every transaction. If a dispute arises, you'll have the digital paper trail and documentation needed to defend your business's revenue, ensuring you aren't losing money behind the scenes.
-
Actually, it's the opposite. Helcim is built to ensure your admin work doesn't scale faster than your revenue. By automating the payment flow and syncing with your records, your current team can handle a higher volume of clients without getting bogged down in manual bookkeeping.
-
Reliability is our priority. Helcim's cloud-based infrastructure is built for high-volume environments. Between our stable hardware and readily available support team, we ensure that your checkout line keeps moving so you never have to deal with the awkwardness of a frozen terminal while a pet owner is waiting.
