Helcim payment reader
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Helcim from other similar products?
The main difference that we can find in Helcim is that its rates are very accessible, so I can have the credit card payment service at a fairly reasonable price. I have used Helcim for a long time, and it has always provided an excellent service, and that gives me security to be able to use it, both for me to make a purchase and pay with the system, as well as to use the service to manage the payments of the company that they want to do with credit cards. Helcim, can be a great ally as a credit card reader, so I can not worry about this issue.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite feature of this platform is its great management capacity. The truth is that the technical support team has always been available to help when I have had a problem, or when there is a process that I do not know. I like that I have everything in a single payment method, so I can have the debit and credit card service in my company or I can suggest it to a third party and I know that its implementation will not be a tedious process, but that it will quickly be the service installed and available for use.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Like many of the programs of this style, its configuration process can be complicated, so I consider that they should make more informative material, either online as videos or digital articles, and this material would provide all customers with more knowledge about it. system and therefore help the community to use it correctly.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The Helcim system has never presented me with problems, and when I have had any doubts about any aspect, the service they provide to help the user is quite fast, that is why I recommend Helcim, since it can be very helpful to establish businesses or companies and your payment system will be safe with them. I dare say that it is one of the platforms with the highest guarantees and helps you increase your income.

does not require a monthly fee

What differentiates Helcim from other similar products?
I learn a lot about a variety of industries, without being forced to choose a specialty. Additionally, having built a business around the private equity community, the company has an impressive list of clients. Great team, great leadership, great is a trading service provider known for its subscription based pricing, transparency, and 0% margin on interchange fees. It is a good option for medium or large companies that are processing a decent amount of monthly sales. Helcim's clients do not require a monthly fee.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The company's technology connects to mobile devices, allowing companies to call and charge customers quickly and easily. The POS software is free to use; you only pay when you accept the payment. The transaction fee depends on the hardware product you are using. Like Stax, helcim offers a variety of different options, includes many free features, and has no hidden fees.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Work-life balance is always a challenge in consulting. helcim is better than most but can still be tough Not a good option for businesses with low sales. While the transparent monthly subscription fee may be beneficial for some, it can also be difficult if you are on the smaller end of the business spectrum. If you process a lower volume of monthly sales, the amount you save may not be enough to offset the subscription fee.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Instead, it only charges businesses a processing fee, starting at 0.3% plus eight cents on top of interchange fees. For a monthly subscription fee (no contract required), users receive the payment terminal of their choice, as well as Helcim Pay, Stax's integrated payment platform. This platform, included with all your terminal solutions, has features like custom reporting, statements, billing, inventory, and access to a customer success team at no additional cost.
