Setting up Helcim in PremiumPress

Activate the free plugin, then open your theme’s payment settings and add your Helcim credentials:

• API token — Helcim → Settings → Integrations → API Access. Sent as the api-token header. Amounts are billed in major units (e.g. dollars).

HelcimPay.js opens a card modal on the checkout return page. Add a webhook in Helcim (Settings → Webhooks) pointing at your site so payments confirm reliably. The plugin requires PremiumPress 12.
