Simplify your checkout. Focus on care.

Flexible payment methods

Give your patients the freedom to pay the way that works best for them. Accept every major payment method so you never have to turn a patient away or delay care over a billing question.

Minimize checkout delays

Speed up your end-of-visit experience with flexible tools that let you process payments however your patients prefer — from in-person taps to stored cards on file and remote billing for post-insurance balances.

Eliminate duplicate entry

Streamline your front-desk workflow by connecting Helcim directly to the practice management software your clinic already uses. No more toggling between tabs or re-keying transaction amounts — every charge flows straight into your patient records.

Frequently asked questions.

Yes. Helcim is fully PCI compliant, ensuring that customer 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 customers are paying an insurance copay, a remaining balance after coverage, or the full cost of an over-the-counter purchase, Helcim makes it seamless. Our platform supports partial payments, recurring billing, and one-time charges, so your pharmacy can handle every billing scenario at the counter without workarounds.

Helcim integrates with popular pharmacy and point-of-sale systems. 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 busy 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 pharmacy's revenue, ensuring you aren't losing money behind the scenes.

Absolutely. Pharmacies often process many smaller transactions throughout the day. With Helcim's interchange-plus pricing, you pay the true cost of each transaction plus a small markup — no hidden fees, no inflated rates. The more you process, the lower your effective rate drops with our automatic volume discounts.

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 customer is waiting for their prescription.
