How it works with Helcim
The Helcim Payment Extension processes payments through Helcim while AutoRepair Cloud continues to manage estimates, invoices, and shop data. Transactions sync into Helcim for reporting and deposits, while repair records remain in AutoRepair Cloud. Refunds or payment changes made outside AutoRepair Cloud may require manual updates. Invoice currency must match your Helcim account currency. This allows shops to use Helcim without altering existing systems.
