Since, Helcim has grown into a number of complimentary services, offering Canadian and American businesses the opportunity to accept credit card payments for their retail, online and mobile businesses.

Q: You’ve recently launched your Hybrid EMV Terminal; tell us something more?
A: The Helcim Hybrid EMV terminal is unique in the context that we have developed all the SDK & code samples, free of charge for developers looking to integrate payments into their app or Point-of-Sale software. Traditionally a developer has been required to do a lot of coding and certifications in order to connect their software to a credit card terminal. We’ve pre-written & packaged all this code, so next time their integration projects are a simple copy and paste.
Q: Who is your ideal customer and why?
A: Helcim is best at catering to small and medium independent businesses. While merchants processing less than $1,000 per month will typically go with PayPal or Square, we have quickly become the more affordable choice for most merchants. We also offer further discounts based on processing volumes, and that has allowed us to work with larger merchants as well.

A: Helcim has a number of big announcements prepared for the coming months. Our team is working diligently for the arrival of Helcim Commerce, a new platform that will change the way mobile, e-commerce and online retailers process payments completely.
