If your current point-of-sale system is limited to one location inside your business, it’s time to rethink. Mobile payment processing terminals like the Clover Flex make it fast and easy to accept payments from virtually anywhere. Join us as we take a closer look at the benefits of the innovative Clover Flex.
On the surface, it may seem like the typical retail checkout process has changed very little over the years. Sure, we’re now using cards far more often than cash, and the registers are computerized rather than mechanical, but shoppers still need to go through the old routine of heading to the checkout counter, lining up to wait their turn, having the staff member ring up each item, and finally complete the payment at the
POS terminal. It’s a tried-and-true process that has kept retail businesses running for countless years.
However, the world of retail has been experiencing a great deal of disruption in recent years from a variety of different factors. While some of these are due to the introduction of new technologies, others are due to changing consumer preferences and evolving shopping behaviour. Adapting to these new demands is critical to business success, and one of the best ways to elevate the checkout experience of your customers is with a flexible, portable point-of-sale solution like the
Clover Flex from MONEXgroup.
Of course, there are many different
POS solutions you can select for your business, so how can you know if one option really is the best for your business? Well, there are some qualifying questions you can ask yourself to help you narrow the field of choices and make a more informed decision.
How Can I Find the Best POS System for My Business?
When evaluating a POS system for your business, there are a handful of key criteria that you should consider. First, you’ll want to ensure that it is capable of processing a diverse range of payment methods. Customers are paying with an increasing variety of new payment types that older POS systems are likely not capable of handling, which could mean lost business and reduced competitive advantage.
You’ll also want to think carefully about transaction security. Data protection needs to be a top priority for any business, so any POS system you consider for your operation should have comprehensive encryption and security functionality to protect customer data throughout the transaction process.
In addition, you should look at which POS systems offer enhanced functionality for your business to achieve greater efficiency, improve productivity, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction during the checkout process. Features like inventory control and rewards program integration can have a significant positive impact for both employees and customers alike.
Finally, you’ll want to look at the bigger picture of how a POS system can equip your business for long-term growth. Not all POS systems are capable of evolving with changing business conditions, so it’s important to consider the future needs of your business when making an investment in a new point-of-sale system.
While it may seem like a stretch to find any POS system that fits the bill across all these important criteria, there is one in particular that checks all these boxes, and then some. It’s called the Clover Flex, and it’s revolutionizing the way many businesses manage their checkout and transaction processes. How is this possible? Let’s answer that by looking at the 5 top advantages that the Clover Flex can offer your business.
Top 5 Benefits of Clover Flex Mobile POS Terminals

NFC tap-to-pay chip cards, digital gift cards, and more. With the Clover Flex, your business will be equipped to process a wide range of different payment methods with ease, from physical cash and coin to the latest in digital payment technology, and beyond.
