About Helcim for WooCommerce

Accept cards & Google Pay with no monthly fees. Save up to 25% with transparent pricing and secure branded checkout.

Helcim for WooCommerce lets you accept all major credit cards and GooglePay directly on your WordPress store while saving on processing fees. This free plugin connects your store to your Helcim account and processes payments through HelcimPay.js — a secure, hosted checkout that handles card data for you, reducing your PCI compliance scope.

Order management stays within WooCommerce but payments run on Helcim’s transparent interchange-plus pricing: you pay the true cost from the card networks plus one clear margin, with no monthly fee, no PCI fee, and rates that fall automatically as your volume grows.

REQUIREMENTS:
– A Helcim account (free to create)
– Generated Helcim API token
– WordPress and WooCommerce installed and active
– A valid SSL certificate (HTTPS) on your store
– Supported versions:
– WordPress: 6.6+
– PHP: 7.4+
– WooCommerce: 10.5+
– A business based in the United States or Canada, processing in USD or CAD

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Helcim reduce WooCommerce transaction fees?

Yes. Processing your WooCommerce payments through Helcim uses transparent interchange-plus pricing, which is often lower than typical flat-rate WooCommerce payment options — and the margin drops automatically as your monthly volume grows.

Does the integration require an API?

Yes. The plugin uses a Helcim API token to process payments and sync refunds and tokenized customer payment details through Helcim’s payment system. Order management stays in WooCommerce.

How do I access the integration?

Install the Helcim for WooCommerce plugin in WordPress, then connect your Helcim API credentials in your WooCommerce payment settings.

Is there a cost to use the integration?

No. The plugin is free, and you only pay standard Helcim processing fees on the transactions you run.

Does it support recurring payments or subscriptions?

Not in this release. WooCommerce Subscriptions and automated recurring billing are planned for a future version.

Which currencies are supported?

Both CAD and USD are supported.

Changelog

5.0.3

Fixed a successful payment being reported as failed at checkout on stores where another plugin, theme, or PHP notice adds unexpected output to the page — the confirmation is now read through that interference and the order completes as normal.
Checkout now tries a second time to confirm a payment when the store is briefly unreachable, and a shopper whose payment was already recorded is taken to the order confirmation page instead of an error.
A shopper whose card has been charged is no longer told to try again or use another card — the message now confirms the payment was received and asks them to contact the store, so nobody pays twice.
The WooCommerce log now records whether WooCommerce accepted a payment that Helcim approved, and notes browser-side confirmation failures under their own entry, making an order left in “Pending payment” far easier to trace.
Zero-rate orders now send their shipping address to Helcim, so the order is not rejected when the store requires a shipping address.
Tested up to WordPress 6.9.5
Tested up to WooCommerce 10.9

5.0.2

Fixed credit card payments failing with a generic “Could not complete transaction” message on some carts — most often with tax-inclusive pricing, quantities greater than one, or coupons — caused by a rounding mismatch in the invoice line items.
Fixed an issue where retrying the same cart after a declined or cancelled payment could fail.
Fixed the payment window occasionally failing to open, or checkout getting stuck with no message, when the payment provider was slow to respond — a clear “please try again” notice now appears instead.
Fixed successful payments not being recorded on the order — leaving it stuck in “Pending payment” and later cancelled — on stores not installed at the main website address, such as sites in a subfolder, multisite networks, or multilingual sites.
Helcim invoices now describe the tax by rate with each amount, such as “Sales Tax: $6.14, State Tax: $3.07”, rather than showing only a total.
Helcim invoices now note the discount total and the coupon codes used when an order has a coupon applied.
Checkout failures that happen in the shopper’s browser — such as the payment window not opening — are now recorded in the WooCommerce log for easier troubleshooting.
Debug logging now masks identifying customer details, so logs can be shared with support more safely.
