Capturing payments. Customer services was excellent. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] was very helpful and definitely helped me solve the problem.

Pros

Payments processing was easy. Capturing payments was easy to understand

I wish we could change the setting for preauthorizing and capture on website instead of through Wordpress.

### "Excellent Customer Support"

June 28, 2021

5.0

Pros

For the most part Heclim's feature set covers what we need - where they really hit it out of the park is with support. Have always received prompt and useful technical assistance from their team.

Cons

We have a fairly complex environment and so doesn't do everything we need from it but that is overcome with supplementary software.

### "Easy for a Newby"

May 10, 2021

5.0

I am pleased with the ease of use and helpful staff.

Pros

I am not super tech savvy and just started my own business. I was able to use easily. When I needed help, customer support was very helpful and professional.

Cons

The website needs refreshed frequently and can run slow.

Reason for choosing Helcim

I appreciated the free trial as I was just getting started and it was nice to see if I liked it before committing to a monthly fee. I also liked that I can go month to month, and is a US business that employs local people.

### "Do everything in one place"

October 24, 2022

4.0

Pros

The terminals you get are reliable and payment issues are very rate. also supports a subscription method. You can set-up accepting pre-paid cards easily.

Cons

I can see how the processing fees can be a deterrent to a lot of people. I think is a great product, but too expensive at the current pricing.

Hi Katy, Thank you so much for reaching out! We're so happy you're enjoying using our card reader and platform features. Thank you for the feedback on our pricing model, we use interchange plus pricing which means that we charge the wholesale pricing set by the card types themselves plus a small margin on top. This means you're only ever paying based on the card brand and types that your customers are using. This pricing model saves business owners on average 22% compared to flat rate models. If you have any questions about this at all please don't hesitate to either email our team on help@helcim.com or by calling +1 877-643-5246. Thank you so much again for choosing to partner with us! - The Helcim team
