How it works with Helcim
The Helcim Payment Extension allows payments to be processed through Helcim while Kickserv continues to manage job details, invoices, and customer records. Transactions are deposited and reported in Helcim, while service workflows remain in Kickserv. Refunds or adjustments made outside Kickserv may require manual updates. Invoice currency must match your Helcim account currency. This setup lets businesses use Helcim without disrupting daily operations.
