PAX A8700 Dual-Facing Countertop Terminal

The PAX A8700 is a dual-facing Android countertop terminal built for full checkout-lane deployments — a merchant-facing display up front and a dedicated customer-facing screen on the reverse side, so every register can show pricing, tips, and signature capture directly to the shopper. CARDZ3N sells and supports the A8700 as an authorized PAX reseller.

Full A8700 spec-sheet detail is still being finalized on our end — documentation is available upon request from your CARDZ3N rep in the meantime.

Dual-Facing Display: Built for the Checkout Lane

The A8700 puts a display on both sides of the terminal — one facing the cashier, one facing the customer — in a single countertop unit. That mirrors the dual-screen approach PAX and Valor both use on their higher-end terminals (Valor's VP800 included), where showing the customer their own transaction in real time is treated as a trust feature, not just a convenience.

For a full checkout lane — grocery, convenience, or a multi-register retail counter — a dual-facing terminal means every lane gets that same transparency without needing a separate customer-facing tablet or kiosk bolted on. It's a single countertop footprint that does both jobs.

A dual-facing display lets the customer see exactly what's being charged, in real time, without turning the terminal around — the same transparency principle behind every customer-facing screen in CARDZ3N's terminal lineup.

What We Know About the A8700

The A8700 is PAX's dual-facing countertop terminal, running on the same Android foundation as PAX's other countertop and mobile lines (A80, A920 Pro, A920 Max). Like every Android PAX terminal, it supports EMV chip, magnetic-stripe swipe, and NFC contactless (tap) transactions with PCI PTS-certified hardware. We're finishing a full technical spec pull for the A8700 specifically — processor, memory, display resolution, battery, and exact dimensions — and will publish it here once confirmed. In the meantime, your CARDZ3N rep can provide the complete datasheet on request.

Best-Use Industries for the A8700

Grocery & Convenience Retail

Full checkout lanes benefit most from a dual-facing terminal — the cashier works the front screen while the customer sees pricing, tip prompts, and signature capture on their own display, without turning the unit around.

Multi-Lane Retail & Big-Box Counters

Retailers running several fixed registers get a consistent customer-facing experience lane to lane — useful anywhere checkout speed and a uniform look across registers both matter.

Quick-Service Restaurant Counters

A customer-facing screen at a QSR counter builds trust and transparency during fast-moving orders — the same positioning Valor uses for the VP800's dual-screen design, applied here to a countertop-only form factor.

High-Traffic Countertop Environments

Any busy, staffed countertop — pharmacy pickup, ticketing, service-counter checkout — benefits from the same dual-screen transparency, without needing a separate customer-facing peripheral.
