A Mobile Terminal That Feels Like a Complete Countertop Setup

Most mobile terminals force you to go paperless. The A920 takes a different approach: you get true portability plus on-device receipt printing, so you can keep checkout moving in the aisle, at the table, curbside, or on-site.

Because it runs on an Android-based platform, the A920 can also support a wide range of payment and business apps (depending on your Host Merchant Services setup), so your device can match how you actually operate.

The PAX A920 is a strong fit for restaurants (tableside pay), retail line-busting, delivery, field services, pop-ups, and busy checkout environments that want mobility without giving up printed receipts.

Get Started

Benefits of the PAX A920

  • Print Receipts Anywhere Without the Extra Hardware Give customers a paper receipt immediately, ideal for delivery, field jobs, and any workflow where “email it later” isn’t practical.
  • Turn One Handheld Into Two Stations Add a charging base for a stable “home position” on the counter, then lift-and-go when you need mobility.
  • A Better Checkout Experience A large touchscreen makes it easier to confirm totals, add tips, capture signatures, and reduce mis-keys, especially during rushes.
  • Workflows Beyond Payments Use the device’s camera for scan-and-go style tasks (QR/barcodes) when your app supports it, helpful for product lookups, loyalty, ticketing, or inventory steps.
  • Flexible Connectivity Options Operate on Wi-Fi or cellular (model/config-dependent), plus Bluetooth for compatible peripherals, useful for events, pop-ups, and multi-location operations.
  • Modern Security Foundation The A920 supports EMV + contactless acceptance and is built to align with current payment security requirements (certifications vary by region/version).
