Managing receipts from your Helcim dashboard

Your Helcim dashboard, accessible via a web browser, gives you full control over managing receipts for past transactions. Every transaction processed through any Helcim tool will have a receipt associated with it.

Here’s how to find and manage them:

1. Log into your Helcim account.

2. Navigate to All Tools (the icon in the top left) and select Payments.

3. You'll see a list of your transactions. Find the specific transaction you need.

4. In the right-most column for that transaction, click the three dots (ellipsis icon) to open the action menu.

5. From here, you can choose:

   • View Receipt: Opens the receipt in your browser for viewing.

   • Download Receipt: Saves a PDF copy of the receipt to your computer.

   • Print Receipt: Opens your browser's print dialog to print the receipt.

   • Send Receipt: Allows you to email the receipt to your customer or another email address.

Managing receipts from the Helcim POS app

If you're using the Helcim POS app on your mobile device, you can also manage receipts for transactions processed through the app.

1. Open the Helcim POS app.

2. Tap on Transactions in the bottom navigation bar.

3. Find the transaction you're looking for.

4. Tap the three dots in the corner of the transaction entry.

5. You'll have options to:

   • Print Receipt: Sends the receipt to a connected printer.

   • Send Receipt: Allows you to email the receipt.

Handling receipts immediately after a transaction

Often, the easiest time to handle a receipt is right after you've completed a sale, especially for in-person transactions.

On the Helcim POS app or Smart Terminal

When you complete a transaction using the Helcim POS app (on your phone or tablet) or directly on your Helcim Smart Terminal:

• You will be presented with options immediately on the confirmation screen.

• You can choose to Print Receipt. If you're using the Smart Terminal, it will print from its onboard printer. If you're using the POS app, it will print to a connected receipt printer.

• You can also choose to Email Receipt directly to your customer by entering their email address.

On the Virtual Terminal

When you process a payment using the Virtual Terminal in your Helcim dashboard (via web browser):

• After the transaction is successfully processed, you'll see an option to Send email receipt.

• You can enter your customer's email address here and send them a digital copy of their receipt right away.
