Take Credit Card Payments at Nearly Zero Expense to You

Brazzell Marketing Agency has spent years searching for the right payment-processing partner for our clients — and we finally found it in Helcim.

Helcim was founded in 2006 and today serves thousands of small and medium businesses across Canada and the United States. Its transparent interchange-plus pricing, with no monthly fees, no long-term contracts, and no hidden charges, makes it especially friendly for start-ups and home care agencies.

Their platform is among the most fully-featured and flexible we’ve seen: whether your home care agency needs a virtual terminal for card-not-present payments, a hosted payment portal for your website, or invoicing/recurring billing for clients — Helcim supports it.

Helcim Features Plus the Brazzell Referral Promotion

No monthly or annual fees.

You only pay when you run credit card transactions — and most of those fees can be passed through or reimbursed.

Ultra-low-cost bank drafts (ACH).

ACH payments are not credit card charges and cost only 0.5% + a small transaction fee (e.g., 14¢).

Automatically apply a card surcharge.

Add approximately 3% to credit card transactions so clients can reimburse you for the cost of accepting credit cards. This feature may be limited in some areas such as CT, ME, MA, CA, and PR.

No processing fees for the first $5,000 in charges.

Through the Brazzell Marketing Agency referral promotion, processing fees for your first $5,000 in charges are completely waived. Find the promotional link below.

No contracts. No cancellation fees. No equipment necessary.

The most laborious and sometimes confusing part is the initial setup and customization of all the features. That’s where Brazzell Marketing Agency comes in. We know this system well. We use it ourselves and have helped multiple businesses get started and customize it. Invest as little as one hour of your time in consultation and training with us. We’ll handle the rest. You will have a professional online payment system ready to go, with no ongoing expenses.
