The pocket-sized Android device brings payments, business tools and instant access to funds into one flexible terminal for the counter or on the move

myPOS announces the launch of myPOS Flex, its new Smart POS designed for micro-businesses, professionals and merchants that work beyond a traditional point of sale or need a practical payment device that can move with them.

Small businesses often need to accept payments in different places throughout the working day. Yet choosing the right technology can involve a compromise: entry-level card readers may offer little beyond payment acceptance, while larger smart devices can be more complex or cumbersome than a small business needs. myPOS Flex brings smart functionality into a compact format, giving merchants one device that can stay at the counter or follow them wherever they work.

Compact and ready for a full working day

Pocket-sized and equipped with a 4-inch touchscreen, myPOS Flex can be operated comfortably with one hand. Its built-in 4G and Wi-Fi connectivity switches automatically between available networks, helping merchants continue taking payments whether they are working from a fixed location or on the move.

The battery supports more than 550 transactions on a single charge. Merchants can also place the device in an optional charging dock when using it at the counter and lift it out whenever service moves elsewhere.

myPOS Flex accepts chip and PIN and contactless card payments, as well as digital wallets including Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay. Receipts can be shared digitally using a QR code, preserving a compact format while giving customers a quick and practical way to receive proof of payment.

Smart tools for everyday tasks

For a small business, the work around a sale can involve much more than accepting the payment. Refunds, pre-authorisations, tips and transaction reporting can all become part of the day, and managing them through separate tools creates additional work for the owner.

Running on Android, myPOS Flex gives merchants access to the myPOS AppMarket and tools that help them manage these tasks from the same device. Merchants can process sales, cancellations and refunds, manage pre-authorisations, accept tips and review sales activity without being tied to a larger checkout system.

Funds received through myPOS Flex are deposited into the merchant’s myPOS account in seconds, giving business owners immediate access to their takings for everyday expenses and cash-flow needs.

Designed for different ways of working

myPOS Flex can support professionals taking payments at a customer’s premises, mobile merchants trading at markets and events, and retailers, bars and restaurants looking to make service more flexible. Its compact format and built-in connectivity allow it to move between these settings without requiring a fixed payment station.

By bringing payment acceptance, practical business tools and fast access to funds into one device, myPOS Flex gives small businesses a simpler way to manage sales wherever their work takes place.

myPOS Flex is available through myPOS online stores in selected European markets. Local pricing, supported payment methods and feature availability may vary by market.
