Handheld POS terminal with tip prompt at restaurant table

Apex Flex

Your whole register — in one hand

Handheld POS with built-in printer, scanner, and 4G. Checkout on the floor, at the table, or on the job site.

Handheld POS with printer, scanner, and built-in connectivity

Apex Flex is a true handheld register — not just a card reader. It prints receipts, scans barcodes, runs your full menu or catalog, and connects over Wi-Fi or built-in 4G when you leave the building.

Restaurants use Flex for tableside checkout and tip prompts. Retailers line-bust during rush hour. Service providers take payment at the chair, bench, or job site without sending customers to a counter.

Flex shares the same Apexonepayments ledger as Reader, Mini, and Station — so inventory, customers, and reporting stay unified as your hardware mix grows.

Watch Apex Flex on the floor

Print, scan, and get paid — without the counter.

See Flex handle a full tableside checkout: item review, tip prompt, contactless payment, and printed receipt — all from one handheld.
