Features
Accept in-person payments
Helcim allows Zenbooker users to take in-person card payments using Helcim’s card readers—something Zenbooker's own payment tools do not support.
Lower your processing fees
Reduce your cost per transaction by using Helcim’s transparent interchange-plus pricing instead of Zenbooker's built-in payment processor. You also have the ability to pass on your processing fees for card-present transactions effectively removing the processing fees for the payments.
Smoother reconciliation
All Helcim transactions—online and in-person—sync to your Helcim dashboard for simple tracking and clearer reporting.
How it works with Helcim
The Helcim Payment Extension processes payments through Helcim while Zenbooker continues to manage bookings, customer details, and scheduling. Transactions are handled and deposited in Helcim, while booking data remains in Zenbooker. Refunds or changes made outside Zenbooker may require manual updates. Invoice currency must match your Helcim account currency. This setup adds payment flexibility without altering how bookings are managed.
