Apex Mini
Big capability. Small footprint.
Compact countertop POS with customer display and contactless — built for tight counters and side lanes.
Compact countertop POS that fits any space
Apex Mini delivers a full countertop register in a footprint small enough for cafés, salon desks, boutique counters, and pop-up lanes. The customer-facing display shows totals and tip prompts; contactless is built in.
Run your full menu or product catalog, connect a cash drawer and receipt printer, and manage staff permissions — without dedicating half your counter to hardware.
Mini is the sweet spot for growing businesses that have outgrown a phone reader but do not need a full Station. Add Flex for floor selling and everything stays on one ledger.

Why Mini is the smart counter upgrade
Fits where Station cannot
Salon desks, coffee bars, and boutique nooks get a real register without a remodel.
Customer-facing trust
Patrons see totals and tip options before they pay — fewer disputes, better tips.
Room to grow
Start with Mini; add Flex and Station later on the same account.
Clean counter aesthetic
Minimal cables and a single elegant unit match premium retail and hospitality spaces.

Designed for counters that are not traditional lanes
Not every business has room for a full Station. Mini gives you professional checkout where space is tight — without sacrificing customer-facing transparency or contactless speed.
- Café and bakery front counters
- Salon and spa reception desks
- Boutique and specialty retail
- Express lanes and pop-up shops
“Our counter is twelve inches deep. Mini fits, looks professional, and customers love tapping on the facing screen.”
Reporting that scales with you
Mini feeds the same dashboards as the rest of your Apexonepayments hardware — daily sales, category mix, and staff performance in one place.
When you add Station or Flex, historical Mini data stays in the same account.
- Category and item sales mix
- Peak hour and daypart analysis
- Cash drawer reconciliation
- Accounting-ready exports
Mini on every counter

What small-counter businesses say
“We outgrew Reader but did not have space for a big register. Mini was the perfect step — full POS, tiny footprint, same account.”
