Read the full storyA POS, or point-of-sale, system allows you to accept payments in multiple locations through some sort of physical or software interface. Put simply, when you have a customer or client in front of you and you’re looking to take their payment, you can use a POS system to accept and record credit or debit card transactions at your checkout. You can also turn your phone into a mobile POS system by downloading the Helcim POS app, which provides all the payment and business tools you need to operate from anywhere.
All you need to start using our POS system is a free Helcim account, the Helcim Card Reader, and any device with internet connectivity. Simply download the Helcim app on your chosen device, connect it to the card reader, and start processing transactions. You can also enable the Tap to Pay on iPhone feature to collect contactless payments without needing any hardware.
The Helcim Point of Sale system is included when you sign up for your free Helcim account, so you only pay a one-time cost of $239CAD $199USD for the Helcim Card Reader. No monthly fees or complicated long-term equipment leases – the machine is yours to keep.
In addition to the Helcim Card Reader, you can customize your in-store experience by adding a barcode scanner or cash drawer.
