Why multilane matters: In grocery and big-box retail, "multilane" means the customer-facing PIN pad operates independently while the cashier uses a separate POS terminal. The A35's PoE support eliminates the need for separate power outlets at each lane—one cable handles power and data, simplifying installation and reducing counter clutter.
Value-added capabilities: The integrated camera enables QR code coupon scanning, digital loyalty card reading, and mobile wallet authentication. The Android 10 OS allows custom app deployment for store-specific promotions, age verification, or receipt delivery options.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “multilane” mean and do I need it?
Multilane PIN pads are designed for checkout environments where the customer enters payment details on a separate device while the cashier operates the POS system. If your current setup involves handing the terminal to the customer or rotating a countertop device, a multilane solution like the PAX A35 is the right fit. It connects to your POS and handles payments independently.
Does the PAX A35 work with my POS system?
The A35 supports semi-integrated and fully integrated connections through major middleware providers including Datacap, BridgePay/PayGuardian, USAePay, and Payroc. It is compatible with many POS systems used in retail and restaurants. Compatibility depends on your processor and setup, so it’s best to confirm before ordering. Our team can help at 847-266-1220.
Can I use this for contactless payments like Apple Pay?
Yes. The A35 supports EMV contactless payments including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and tap-to-pay cards. Customers simply tap their phone or card on the device.
Does it come encrypted and ready to use?
No. The A35 ships unencrypted and must be encrypted before deployment. DCCSupply is a PCI-validated P2PE provider and offers encryption services for most major processors. You can select your encryption and key injection options directly from the pulldown menus when placing your order online, making it easy to receive a deployment-ready device.
What is Power over Ethernet (PoE) and why does it matter?
Power over Ethernet allows the device to receive both power and data through a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation, reduces cable clutter, and eliminates the need for nearby power outlets. It also makes replacing or troubleshooting devices much easier.
How do I mount the PAX A35?
The A35 includes a rear mounting bracket slot and is compatible with a variety of stands and mounts, including DCCStands swivel and tilt options. It can also be used flat on a countertop. You can choose from multiple mounting options directly in the pulldown menus on the product page to match your setup.
What is the camera used for?
The built-in front-facing camera enables QR code scanning for mobile payments, loyalty programs, and digital receipts. It can also support workflows like age verification when paired with the right software.
Can I run custom apps on the A35?
Yes. The A35 runs on Android, allowing for custom applications such as loyalty programs, promotional displays, surveys, and more. App functionality depends on your POS provider or development resources.
What is included in the 1-year warranty?
The standard warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover accidental damage, liquid exposure, or misuse. DCCSupply also offers Protection Plans and Quick Swap options for extended coverage and faster replacement.
How long does shipping take?
Orders placed by 2pm CT typically ship the same day. Most U.S. deliveries arrive within 2–3 business days. If encryption services are added, processing may take an additional 1–3 business days.
