Arriving soon! Clover Flex Pocket for US merchants

Flex Pocket: A sleek power-packed handheld device

We are excited to announce that the Clover Flex Pocket will be available in the United States in late August 2024.

The Flex Pocket is a full-featured, mobile-optimized smart payment and business management device that makes it easy to accept payments from customers, including credit, chip cards (PIN entry and signatures for added security), debit cards from all major brands, NFC-enabled cards and mobile payment services including Apple Pay®, Google Pay™, and Samsung Pay®.

Its slim, lightweight design make the Flex Pocket ideal for restaurant table-side orders, at the counter, in line, or on the go. Though sleek and light, the Flex Pocket packs a punch with features similar to Flex 3 in terms of screen dimension, resolution, and features, with the benefits of a Qualcomm architecture that runs on Android version 13.

📘

IMPORTANT

With most customers preferring paperless transactions, the Flex Pocket does not include the built-in receipt printer. The charging cradle and wireless charging are also not available with the Flex Pocket. Apps that allow the auto-printing of receipts, ordering of paper rolls, or any function related to printing are not supported.

Recommendation for developers

Step 1: Order your Clover Flex Pocket Developer Kit .

📘

NOTE

If you cannot order a Dev Kit, you can build and test your apps with Flex 3 device hardware profile using the Android Emulator, because the screen size is the same. However, there are some functional differences, such as barcode scanning, and no built-in printer.

Step 2: Set up your Flex following the hardware guidelines on the Clover Merchant Help site:

• Set up a Flex Pocket
• Pocket Quick Start Guide
• Store your Flex

Step 3: Test your apps on the Android 13 operating system.

📘

NOTE

Apps that allow the auto-printing of receipts, ordering of paper rolls, or any function related to printing are not compatible with the Flex Pocket.

Note for semi-integration developers

• For remote semi-integration, the Remote Pay SDKs and REST Pay Display API support on-device Pay Display apps for the current payment user interface.
• For native semi-integration, the Android Payments API supports the current payment user interface. You need to update the devices that support your app.
