What is the Helcim Xero integration?


The Helcim Xero integration connects your Helcim account to your Xero account. It allows you to accept payments from your customers directly on your Xero invoices, using Helcim as your payment processor. This integration streamlines the payment process for you and your customers and can help you save money on processing fees.

How does the Helcim Xero integration work?


The Helcim Xero integration adds a Pay Now button to your Xero invoices.

  • When your customers click this button, they can securely enter their payment information and pay the invoice.

  • Helcim then processes the payment, and the integration automatically records the transaction in both Helcim and Xero.  

The integration also creates a Helcim clearing account in Xero. This account automatically reconciles your Helcim payments, fees, and bank transfers, simplifying your bookkeeping.
