Problem
Traditional point-of-sale systems for retail and pharmacy businesses often bundle opaque per-transaction commissions, complex hardware contracts, and hidden fees that erode margins. Staff frequently spend time on cash handling and administrative tasks instead of focusing on customer advice and sales, particularly in specialized environments like parapharmacies and pet shops.
Solution
Helvipay offers a flat-fee, all-inclusive POS subscription that removes commission-based pricing from card and contactless payments. The service provides the complete hardware stack—scanner, printed ticket, and payment terminal—along with software, maintenance, and support for a fixed monthly price. Two service models are available: a card-only option and a cash-plus-card option that automates cash acceptance, change dispensing, and electronic reconciliation. The system works with existing Nexi and Worldline terminals, and Helvipay handles catalog integration and on-site staff training as part of the onboarding process.
Target Audience
Primary customers are Swiss retail businesses, particularly parapharmacies, pet shops, and similar specialty stores that want to reduce payment processing costs and free staff from cash-handling duties.
