How it works with Helcim
The Helcim Payment Extension processes payments through Helcim while Housecall Pro continues to manage scheduling, invoices, and customer communication. Transactions are handled and deposited in Helcim, while service data remains in Housecall Pro. Refunds or payment changes made outside Housecall Pro may require manual updates. Invoice currency must match your Helcim account currency. This integration allows businesses to replace Housecall Pro’s default processor with Helcim’s lower-cost solution.
