Pairing your Pax A920 Pro, A920, or A80 payment terminal with 2Accept or another payment integration allows you to easily take payments from your customers.

  2. Navigate to Setup > Payment types.

    For any other payment integration, select the appropriate payment type name.

    Pop-up window with option to choose payment type.

    If your required payment type or gateway is not listed, contact Support.

  5. Select Begin setup.

    Payment type selected, Begin setup option available.

  6. Enter a name for the payment type.

    New payment type page, with area to enter Name, select Outlet(s), and option to Save payment type.

  7. Select the outlet(s) where the payment type should be visible.
  8. Select Save payment type.

With the payment type created, you are ready to pair your payment terminal.

Pairing your payment terminal

Once your payment type has been created, it’s time to pair your Pax A920 Pro, A920, or A80 payment terminal. 

Preparing your payment terminal

  1. Connect the terminal to a power supply and turn the terminal on.
  2. Connect the terminal to your network using an Ethernet cable or WiFi.
  3. On the terminal’s Idle screen, open the Payroc app.
    If the app is not on the Pax terminal, download the Payroc app from the Pax Store.

    The Payroc app must always be open to process integrated payments. It can run in the background, or you can leave it as the main app screen on the terminal.

  4. If the terminal is connected to a network, it should state "Connected" at the bottom of the screen.

Connecting the terminal to Retail POS

  1. Select the payment type to edit and pair the terminal. Multiple payment terminals can be paired under a single payment type.

    Payment types page listing available payment types, with 2Accept emphasized.

  2. Select Pair a Terminal.

    2Accept payment type page showing option to Pair a terminal.

  3. Choose the register where you will use this terminal. Each terminal can only be paired with one register at a time.

    Pop-up with option to choose register and enter the terminal's Serial Number.

  4. Enter the terminal’s Serial Number.
  5. Select Pair Register.

You will then see the terminal serial number and the register where it is paired.

Repeat the above process for each terminal you need to connect.
