Checkout that moves
A POS system you can carry
Flex is useful when a fixed checkout slows down the interaction. It lets you bring payment acceptance and the tools in your chosen Clover plan to the customer, while keeping receipt printing in your hand.
Restaurants and tableside service
Bring the payment terminal to the table instead of asking customers to walk to the counter. Check that your restaurant plan supports the ordering, tipping and table workflows you want.
Retail and line busting
Scan supported product barcodes and complete checkout on the shop floor. Item lookup and inventory workflows depend on your configured catalogue, software and apps.
Services, events and mobile checkout
Take the device to your customer when a fixed station is impractical. Check Wi-Fi or cellular coverage at the places you work, and plan access to charging.
Everyday capabilities
Payments, receipts and scanning in one device
Accept familiar ways to pay
Hardware supports EMV chip, contactless and magnetic-stripe payments, with an on-screen PIN keypad. Customers can also tap supported mobile wallets, including Apple Pay and Google Pay. Enabled payment methods depend on your merchant account and configuration.
Print at the point of payment
A built-in thermal printer gives customers a paper receipt without a separate counter printer. Keep spare paper on hand; compatible rolls are 58 mm wide, with a maximum 40 mm diameter.
Scan without a separate handheld reader
The integrated 5 MP camera and dedicated scan button support 1D and 2D barcodes. The resulting item or transaction workflow depends on the Clover app you use.
Connectivity and power
Plan for where you will use it
Flex 4 connects over dual-band Wi-Fi or 4G LTE. LTE requires activated cellular service and carrier coverage. Bluetooth supports compatible, configured peripherals.
A rechargeable battery lets you move away from the counter. Recharge using the charging cradle or supported USB-C power. Keep a charging location within reach of your team.
Check these before you order
Coverage: test the Wi-Fi or cellular signal in your actual checkout areas.
Battery: Clover advertises at least eight hours for typical small-business use. Real runtime varies with printing, scanning, screen use, apps and signal conditions.
Offline payments: availability depends on configuration. An offline payment is not a real-time authorisation or a guarantee of funds; confirm limits and decline risk.
Wired checkout: Flex is designed around Wi-Fi and cellular mobility. If Ethernet or a fixed counter is central to your setup, compare Clover Mini.

What your setup needs to support
Basic payment acceptance, inventory, restaurant ordering, employee tools and reporting are not interchangeable requirements. Software capabilities vary by plan, business type and app.
For multiple devices or locations, confirm account structure, catalogue management and reporting before rollout. Check any required business integrations individually, including compatibility and extra fees.
What to include in a quote
Device purchase or other available hardware arrangement
Clover software subscription and paid apps
Payment processing and merchant-account fees
LTE service, accessories and additional devices
Setup, warranty, replacement and support terms
There is no single Flex price or processing fee that fits every business. Ask for the full recurring and upfront cost, plus the agreement term.
Before buying a device elsewhere: confirm that its processor relationship, activation eligibility and configuration are compatible with your intended merchant account. Do not assume an existing Clover terminal can simply be moved between providers.
Choose the right checkout
Flex, Mini or Station Duo?
Start with where checkout happens. A portable device is useful for mobility; a dedicated counter station gives staff a larger, fixed workspace.
Compare form factors and workflows.
Device
Best fit
Main consideration
Clover Flex 4
Handheld, tableside and mobile checkout with built-in receipt printing
Small screen, battery and wireless coverage suit mobile tasks better than long counter sessions
A dedicated checkout with merchant and customer-facing displays
More counter space and a fixed workstation rather than handheld mobility
Choose Flex when…
Your team needs to take payments where customers are, carry a receipt printer with them or scan items away from a fixed checkout.
Consider a counter device when…
Staff spend most of the day at one station, work with detailed orders on screen or need a larger checkout workspace. Flex can be part of a wider setup, subject to software and account compatibility.
Buyer questions
What to know before choosing Flex
Is Clover Flex a POS system or just a card reader?
It combines payment hardware with the Clover software platform. It can serve as a handheld POS, but the tools available—such as item management, ordering or advanced reporting—depend on your software plan and apps.
How much does Clover Flex cost, and is there a monthly fee?
Your quote should separate hardware, software subscriptions, processing fees, LTE service and optional apps or accessories. Monthly software and service charges depend on your setup. Clearly Payments provides an itemized quote for the complete setup.
Does it need Wi-Fi, or can it use cellular?
Flex 4 supports Wi-Fi and 4G LTE. Cellular use needs activated service and carrier coverage. Confirm the carrier, data charges and coverage for your intended locations.
Does Flex print receipts and scan barcodes?
Yes. Flex 4 has an integrated thermal receipt printer and camera-based 1D/2D barcode scanning with a dedicated scan button. Scanning workflows depend on the app and catalogue setup. Flex Pocket is a different device and does not have the same built-in printer.
How long does the battery last?
Clover describes at least eight hours under typical small-business use. Printing, scanning, apps, brightness and signal conditions affect runtime. Plan for charging during the working day.
Can it take payments offline?
Offline acceptance may be enabled for eligible configurations, subject to limits and settings. It does not verify funds in real time, and a stored payment may later be declined. Confirm the permitted workflow and merchant risk before relying on it.
Can I order Clover Flex in Canada through Clearly Payments?
No. Clearly Payments currently offers Clover only to U.S. businesses. Canadian merchants can explore our POS systems and payment terminals for other options. This describes Clearly’s offering, not Clover’s availability through other providers.
Which Flex generation does Clearly Payments offer?
Flex 4 is the primary/current model we sell. Some Flex 3 units may remain available in limited quantities. The specifications on this page are for Flex 4; confirm the generation on your quote rather than applying these specifications to an older device.
What warranty, support and accessories are included?
Ask for the written hardware warranty, replacement process, support contacts and included accessories with your quote. Confirm whether your bundle includes the cradle, protective sleeve and any accessibility or travel accessories you need.
