The reason people shortlist the A77 is one workflow: scan an item, confirm the basket, take the payment, all in one handheld, without walking a customer back to a fixed till.
What it runs on: Android, which means your business apps live on the same device as the payment. Inventory lookups, order capture, delivery workflows.
What it takes: chip and PIN, contactless, magstripe. Tap to pay for the fast lane.
What it looks like in practice: queue busting in shops, tableside in hospitality, curbside and delivery.
One honest caveat before you order. The professional barcode scanner can be optional depending on configuration and region, and wallet acceptance for Apple Pay and Google Pay depends on your processor and certifications, not just the hardware. Confirm the exact bundle and your processor compatibility before you commit. Getting this wrong means deploying twice.
That is the part a merchant services provider should be handling for you. Full feature breakdown, link in bio.
