  • “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 is a POS system?

    A 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.

  • What do I need to start using the Helcim Point of Sale System?

    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.

  • How much does the POS software and card reader cost?

    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 $129CAD $99USD for the Helcim Card Reader. No monthly fees or complicated long-term equipment leases – the machine is yours to keep.

  • What other POS hardware can I integrate with Helcim POS System?

    In addition to the Helcim Card Reader, you can customize your in-store experience by adding a barcode scanner or cash drawer.

  • Can I print receipts from my POS system?

    Yes, after completing a payment, the payment screen will allow you to print a copy of the receipt if you have a printer, or email it to your customers if you’re looking for a paper-free option.

  • Can I process partial payments or take deposits using Helcim POS System?

    Yes! You can select options to split payments by value (percentage or dollar amount) or by payment method. Your transaction will be marked as partially paid so you can easily see what order has a balance outstanding.

  • Can I apply discounts or accept tips on Helcim POS System?

    Absolutely! Either use an existing discount code or process a manual discount and enable, disable, or add preset tipping options by dollar amount or by percentage during the checkout process.

  • What type of funding options does Helcim offer?

    Helcim uses gross deposits, meaning your total sales are deposited directly into your bank account, with processing fees deducted as a separate line item on the same day. This ensures accurate daily revenue and cash flow data so you always know exactly how much you've earned and what's available.
