Premium Companion DisplayThe A35 steps up from PAX's Q25 with a larger, higher-spec display built for richer on-screen customer prompts — tip selection, loyalty look-up, and signature capture — at the PIN pad itself.
Companion Device, Not StandaloneThe A35 pairs with a compatible CARDZ3N POS/terminal setup and does not work on its own — talk to a CARDZ3N rep to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Higher-Spec Than the Q25PAX positions the A35 above the Q25 in its PIN-pad accessory line — a premium option for merchants who want more capability at the customer-facing PIN pad without moving to a full terminal.
Full Card-Present AcceptanceChip, tap, and swipe are all supported, covering the full range of card-present payment methods at the counter.
Built for Multi-Lane CheckoutThe A35's consistent, premium interface makes it a fit for standardizing PIN entry across every lane in a multi-register retail deployment.
Richer On-Screen PromptsWhere a basic companion PIN pad just captures a card and PIN, the A35's display supports fuller customer-facing prompts at checkout for a more guided transaction experience.
PAX Build QualityBacked by PAX's payment-hardware line, the A35 is built for durable, everyday use at a busy attended checkout.
Confirm Compatibility FirstBecause the A35 is a companion accessory, fit depends on your host POS/register — a CARDZ3N rep will confirm compatibility as part of your quote.

The PAX A35 is a companion PIN pad accessory — it does not work standalone. It requires a compatible CARDZ3N POS/terminal host setup and is not a replacement for a full point-of-sale system. Talk to a CARDZ3N rep to confirm compatibility for your setup.
PAX's own A35 product datasheet is on file. Detailed spec-table documentation for this device is still being compiled — contact your CARDZ3N rep for full technical documentation while this page's spec detail is finalized.
Companion Device Notice: The A35 Requires a Host System
The PAX A35 is a PIN pad accessory, not a standalone terminal. It does not run its own point-of-sale software and cannot process a sale on its own — it pairs with a compatible CARDZ3N POS/terminal setup and handles the card-present part of the transaction: chip, tap, swipe, and PIN entry, plus a richer set of on-screen customer prompts than PAX's more basic Q25 companion pad.
Before ordering an A35, confirm compatibility with your existing register or POS — CARDZ3N does not sell the A35 as a self-contained solution, and pairing requirements vary by setup. Contact a CARDZ3N rep to confirm the A35 works with your host system before you buy.

A Larger Display and Richer On-Screen Prompts
The A35 is PAX's higher-spec companion PIN pad, positioned above the more basic Q25 in the same PIN-pad-accessory line. Where the Q25 covers standard card-present entry, the A35's larger display supports richer on-screen prompts at the point of sale — tip selection, loyalty look-up, and signature capture — giving merchants a more capable customer-facing experience without moving to a full all-in-one terminal.
Security and Certification
As a PAX PIN-pad accessory, the A35 is built to the same card-present security standards — EMV chip, contactless, and PCI-certified PIN entry — that PAX applies across its whole PIN-pad and terminal line. A full published spec sheet for the A35 is still being compiled; ask your CARDZ3N rep for the latest available documentation on certifications and technical detail.
That makes the A35 the pick for a retailer who wants a premium PIN pad presence at the register — a step up from the basic Q25 — without replacing an already-working host POS or register system.
Where It Fits in a Checkout Setup
The A35 fits best in retail environments that want a premium customer-facing PIN entry device paired with an existing register or POS, rather than a bare-bones companion pad. Three concrete use cases stand out: multi-lane retail checkout deployments that want a consistent, higher-spec PIN pad at every register; general retail merchants who want richer on-screen prompts — tip selection, loyalty look-up, signature capture — at the customer-facing PIN pad; and merchants upgrading from a basic companion pad like the Q25 who want a better on-screen experience without replacing their host POS.
As with any PAX companion device, the A35's transaction flow runs on the host POS, not the PIN pad itself — the A35's job is secure card entry and richer on-screen prompting, handed back to whatever system is driving the sale. Compatibility varies by host setup, so confirm fit with a CARDZ3N rep before ordering.
Pricing
The PAX A35 is available through CARDZ3N with pricing quoted per merchant based on volume, host-system compatibility, and equipment needs — CARDZ3N is the sole quoting and selling party, never a pass-through to PAX's own pricing. Ask your CARDZ3N rep for current pricing and to confirm the A35 pairs correctly with your host POS/terminal setup.
