  • “I wish I had switched to Helcim years ago! Their card reader and customer service are absolutely top notch, and their rates are the best. It's extremely intuitive and took a whole 15 minutes to get up and running. Everyone should be using this system.”

  • Over the years for our business, we have tried 4 different credit card processors. 2 local and also Square. We are completely happy with Helcim and they are the best processors out there in comparison to the other ones we’ve used. Amazing POS solution for a very, very reasonable price compared to others out there. Is it possible to love your credit card processor? With Helcim, YES!!!!!

  • I originally went with Helcim as I am a small business owner who is a total technology luddite and I knew I would likely need extra help with a new POS system. Helcim's team has delivered that and more. Dumb questions (I had so many of them), hard questions, urgent questions, they have been there for me. If you're looking for an actual good business relationship, a service team that actually truly cares, and fair transparent pricing - look no further."

  • “I took the time one day to look at the top 10 POS systems out there and everything repeatedly kept pointing back to Helcim. Rates, service, dependable devices in the field and an A1 support team that gets back to you extremely fast. I would strongly recommend Helcim. This is coming from someone who literally likes the outdoors and books more than devices but Helcim makes it so easy there's no other choice.”

  • “When I started looking for a new POS home Helcim won every time, and people, believe me when I say I spent a lot of time researching companies as I didn’t want to do this ever again. I found the best product, best service, best rates, etc. Thanks Helcim, keep it up!”

FAQ.

  • What does a POS system do in retail?

    A POS system in retail serves as a versatile tool for both in-person and online sales. It integrates hardware like barcode scanners, cash drawers, card readers, and receipt printers for in-store transactions. Additionally, it allows online sales by implementing POS software, enabling customers to shop and check out on your website or online store.

  • Which POS equipment do I need for my business?

    POS setups will vary from business to business but generally, most businesses would need the following POS hardware setup:

    • Barcode scanner
    • Receipt printer
    • Cash drawer
    • Customer-facing display
    • Card reader
    Alternatively, you can simplify your setup with a Helcim Smart Terminal. It's not your typical credit card machine; it combines a POS app, payment tools, and a receipt printer all in one portable standalone device.
