Processing with Fee-Saver through HelcimPay.js.

Now that your Helcim account is configured to process with Fee-Saver, you will need to Initialize your HelcimPay.js checkout session with the appropriate parameters.

In addition to the required body parameters of paymentType, amount, and currency, you will also need to pass the appropriate parameters of paymentMethod as 'cc-ach' and hasConvenienceFee as '1'.

With these parameters included, the HelcimPay.js payment modal will render with the appropriate convenience fee displayed for credit card processing and give customers the options to instead process through ACH payment to avoid that fee.
