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.
-
Absolutely. Whether your clients book a one-off grooming session, purchase a multi-visit package, or enroll in a recurring training program, Helcim makes it seamless. Our platform supports recurring billing, package-based payments, and one-time charges, so you can match your billing to however your business operates.
-
Yes! Helcim's payment terminal supports on-screen tipping, so your clients can easily add a gratuity at checkout. It's seamless, professional, and integrated directly into the payment flow — no separate tip jar or awkward ask needed.
-
Helcim integrates with popular booking and 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.
-
Helcim is built for businesses of all sizes — and solo operators often see the biggest benefit. With no monthly fees, no minimums, and interchange-plus pricing, you only pay for what you process. It's designed so your admin work doesn't scale faster than your revenue.
-
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.
-
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 process keeps moving so you never have to deal with the awkwardness of a frozen terminal while a pet owner is waiting.
