Getting started with Helm

Set up Helm around real customer activity: public presence, bookings, orders, CRM records, invoices, follow-up, and daily insights.

Helm works best when you set it up around the way your business already runs: get discovered, take a booking or order, keep the customer record useful, collect payment or documents, follow up, and review the business in Overview and Insights.

Website / CMS - All plans

Set up your website

Use Helm Presence tools to publish a clear customer-facing website without turning the CMS into a separate product or workflow.

Your Helm website is the public home for customers who need to understand your business, services, contact details, forms, menu, booking links, and store links. Keep the first version clear rather than broad: explain what you sell, where or how you operate, and what the customer should do next.

Bookings / services - All plans

Take bookings

Configure Helm services, availability, bookings, waitlist, and events around customer-ready workflows the product actually supports.

Create services with names customers understand, clear durations, pricing where relevant, buffers, booking limits, and availability rules. Keep the public booking page easy to use so customers can pick a service and time without needing manual back-and-forth.

Sell with Store + Orders

Operate products, checkout, order records, receipts, and Business commerce tools within Helm's website-first merchant scope.

CRM / customers - All plans

Manage customer records and Timeline

Manage Helm customer records, timeline notes, reviews, tags, follow-up work, and context from bookings, orders, invoices, and forms.

Customers are the shared record behind bookings, orders, invoices, receipts, forms, review requests, notes, tags, segments, and follow-up work. A good customer profile gives the merchant a clear history without forcing them to jump across modules.

Invoices / receipts - All plans

Send invoices and receipts

Create, send, track, print, recover, and connect Helm invoices, receipts, and commercial documents from Money/Documents workflows.

How to get the most out of Helm

Connect Helm modules into one launchable merchant workflow across website, bookings, CRM, invoices, receipts, follow-up, and insights.

Helm is most useful when modules connect around real customer work. A simple launch path is website page, first offer, first customer, first booking or order, first invoice or receipt, and a short review of staff and support preferences.

Choose a setup path by business type

Pick the shortest Helm setup path for service, restaurant, cafe, menu, retail, store, or event-based businesses starting setup.

Start with a public website page, one service, real availability, and one customer record. Then test the booking path, create a receipt or invoice when money is involved, and invite staff only when the plan and daily workflow need it.

Website / CMS - All plans

Create a menu

Create customer-readable Helm menus, connect browsing to public pages, and decide when menu demand should move into Store + Orders.

Create a menu when customers need to browse items before they call, visit, book, or order. Keep item names, prices, availability, categories, and dietary notes accurate enough for mobile browsing.

Read Insights

How Helm support is organized

Helm help articles are written around the operating work merchants repeat every week: setting up the business, publishing public pages, taking bookings or orders, keeping customer records useful, creating documents, reviewing billing, and troubleshooting customer-facing links before they are shared.

Start from the customer path

Most setup questions are easier to answer when you follow the same path a customer follows. Check the public website or link page first, then the booking, form, menu, store, invoice, receipt, or checkout step that the customer is supposed to use. If that path is clear, the dashboard record is usually easier to understand.

Keep source records authoritative

Helm works best when bookings, orders, invoices, receipts, forms, notes, reviews, and customer records are updated in the module that owns the work. A chat message or spreadsheet can explain context, but the durable record should live in Helm when the workflow is supported there.

Use plan scope before troubleshooting

Some features are available on Starter, some on Growth, and some are planned for a future tier. Before treating a missing control as a bug, confirm whether the plan supports the workflow, whether the page or item is published, and whether the customer-facing link points to the right site.

Separate public help from account support

Public Help Center articles cover reusable product guidance. Account-specific support is for questions that require your site, plan, role, customer record, booking, order, invoice, receipt, payment state, or audit context. Use the dashboard request form when private merchant details are needed.

Still need help?

Browse public guidance first, then use the dashboard support thread when Helm needs account or site-specific context.

Dashboard support

Submit a request

Use authenticated support for billing, account, site, booking, order, or operational issues that need your merchant context.

Product feedback

Share a feature idea

Signed-in merchants can send feature requests, pricing objections, missing integrations, confusing UX areas, and general feedback from the dashboard.
