  • At least one compatible PAX card terminal from our terminal shop is required to operate the associated software
  • You must have at least one acceptance agreement for a payment method in place
  • A Checkout Flex account is also required to operate the pay terminal

Send requests to acceptance partners directly from the back office tool

You can conclude the contract with PostFinance for the Checkout Flex POS Payment Module online in just a few minutes. After successful verification, we will activate Checkout Flex within five working days. To enable you to accept payments, you must then conclude a separate contract with each of the acceptance partners for the individual payment methods. PostFinance will take care of the arrangements for contract requests. You can initiate the contract request to the acceptance partners you require directly in the back office tool.

Please note: It may currently take several weeks to conclude contracts with Worldline and Concardis. The time required to activate the payment method depends on the acceptance partner concerned. PostFinance has no influence on this process.
