PAX Terminals

Secure Android-Based Smart Payment Terminals

Enterprise-grade PAX payment devices with EMV, NFC, and contactless support.

What are PAX smart payment terminals?

PAX smart payment terminals are enterprise-grade, Android-based payment devices that accept EMV chip cards, NFC contactless payments, and tap-to-pay transactions. These terminals run on the Android operating system, allowing businesses to integrate payment acceptance with mobile POS features, inventory management, and customer engagement tools. PAX manufactures a full product line of countertop, mobile, and pin-pad terminals designed for retail, restaurant, and service environments that require secure payment processing with EMV compliance and contactless capability. MSC is an authorized PAX dealer and can provision PAX terminals through its processor partnerships with Fiserv, TSYS, Worldpay, Elavon, and Electronic Payment Exchange (EPX). PAX terminals provide wireless connectivity options including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular, allowing businesses to accept payments at the counter, tableside, or in the field without tethering to a landline or fixed internet connection.

How PAX smart payment terminals work at MSC

MSC provisions PAX terminals as part of its broader payment acceptance offering, which includes Clover, Square, Skytab, Talech, Union POS, Dejavoo, Ingenico, Verifone, and Payanywhere systems. When you contact MSC for PAX equipment, the team evaluates your business type, processing volume, equipment needs, and program eligibility to determine which processor and terminal model fits your operational requirements. Most merchants qualify for free hardware placement when enrolled in MSC's dual-pricing or qualifying processing program, subject to underwriting and approval through Fiserv, TSYS, Worldpay, Elavon, or EPX. Once approved, MSC ships the terminal, assists with device configuration, and provides remote or on-site training. Pricing depends on business type, processing volume, equipment needs, risk review, and program eligibility. Contact MSC for current rates and program options. PAX terminals integrate with MSC's gateway services and support EMV, NFC, and contactless payment methods across all major card brands.

Who PAX smart payment terminals are for

PAX terminals are built for retail stores, restaurants, service businesses, and mobile merchants who need Android-based payment acceptance with EMV and contactless support. Businesses that operate in pop-up environments, food trucks, delivery services, or field-based sales benefit from PAX's wireless connectivity and portable form factors. Retailers with high transaction volumes, quick-service restaurants, and hospitality operators that require fast throughput and reliable hardware choose PAX for its enterprise-grade build quality and Android operating system flexibility. PAX terminals are not ideal for businesses that require full-featured restaurant POS software with tableside ordering, menu management, or kitchen display integration, those needs are better served by Clover, Skytab, or Talech systems MSC also offers. MSC underwrites every account through its processing partners, who set final approval criteria. Businesses in regulated or high-risk categories may require additional documentation or may not qualify for free hardware placement.

What you get with MSC

When you deploy PAX terminals through MSC, you receive the terminal hardware, EMV and NFC acceptance capability, integration with MSC's gateway and processor network, and access to 24/7 US-based customer support for payment and terminal issues. Most merchants qualify for free PAX terminal placement when enrolled in MSC's dual-pricing or qualifying processing program, subject to underwriting and eligibility review. MSC provides remote or on-site training on terminal operation, transaction processing, and dispute resolution. Hardware support includes troubleshooting, replacement assistance, and technical escalation through MSC's support team. All PAX deployments are subject to approval by Fiserv, TSYS, Worldpay, Elavon, or EPX, depending on which processor MSC places your account with based on business type, risk profile, and rate optimization.
