Pax S300 / SP30 Low Profile 4in Swivel Stand - Secure Counter Mount

Our review of the Pax S300 / Pax SP30 Low Profile Freestanding 4in Swivel Stand finds it a practical, no-nonsense accessory for businesses that need a compact, secure way to present payment terminals. It is aimed at merchants who run high-volume checkouts or limited counter space and want a durable mount that brings the terminal closer to the customer for faster, more comfortable interactions. The stand's steel construction, powder coated finish and a full 190 swivel with up to 60 tilt make it a useful tool for improving transaction flow while protecting the device from accidental damage or opportunistic theft.

Key Features

• Sturdy steel construction: The robust steel pole and base provide a stable support that resists tipping and holds the terminal securely during use.
• Wide swivel and tilt: Swivels a full 190 and tilts up to 60 so the terminal can be easily passed between customer and merchant without removing the device.
• Powder coated finish: A durable coating protects the stand from scuffs and wear in busy retail environments, extending service life.
• 8" round countertop plate: Includes an 8in x 8in round plate so the mount can be freestanding and positioned where it improves customer access.
• Wire management and theft reduction: The flange cover hides cables and the mount secures the terminal to reduce accidental damage and discourage theft.
• Field upgradeable top plate: The top plate can be swapped in the field to accept other Discount Credit Card Supply round or square freestanding plates for future flexibility.

Who It's For

The stand is best for retailers, cafes, salons and small businesses that use the Pax S300 or Pax SP30 terminals and need a compact, secure mounting option to speed customer interactions. Its low profile and freestanding plate make it especially useful where counter drilling is impractical or when a movable mount is preferred.

It is less suitable for businesses requiring heavy security anchoring to a counter as the included adhesive pad and screws provide two simple installation options but do not replace a fully bolted, tamper-proof installation in very high-risk locations.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid steel build and powder coating deliver long-term durability in commercial use.
• 190 swivel and 60 tilt make handoffs smooth and reduce awkward reaches during payment.
• Includes an 8in round plate and simple installation hardware for fast setup.
• Top plate compatibility allows field upgrades to different Discount Credit Card Supply plates.

Cons

• Freestanding plate and adhesive option are convenient but not equivalent to heavy-duty bolted security for very high-theft environments.
• Designed specifically for Pax S300 / Pax SP30 so merchants using other terminal models must verify plate compatibility.
