Stay Up and Running even when the Internet isn’t on your side
Things happen… events have patchy Wi-Fi connection, storms slow down the internet, or worse there’s a power outage and it goes down completely. Hiccups happen all the time, but that doesn’t mean it should stop you from running your business. With Offline Mode, you can continue to capture payments even when your Internet service is unavailable.
How Does it Work?
Offline mode simply saves all of your transactions locally and then automatically uploads the information once you’re reconnected to the internet.
Who can benefit from this?
• Retailers at Music Festivals
• Vendors at Farmers Markets
• Food Trucks
• Snack Shacks
• Pop-Up Boutiques
• Artist doing off-site shows
• Caterers with a no-host bar at a wedding
• Businesses with limited internet access or none at all
Who has Offline Mode features?
Check before you swipe. When you swipe payments in Offline Mode, you’re responsible for any expired or declined transactions or resulting charge-backs. Before you accept a card offline, be sure to check the name and expiration on the card to ensure it’s valid. You can also reduce your risk by setting a per-transaction limit for offline payments.
