Processing a Credit Payment while in Offline Mode

When offline, credit card transactions are processed seamlessly – there is no interruption when finalizing a transaction. Additionally, to prevent fraud by store employees, there is no messaging to alert users that credit is in Offline Mode. If the Maximum Transaction Amount or Maximum Total by Device is reached, a message will be displayed indicating why the transaction cannot be completed.

Offline Credit Reports

There are reports in the back office and on the POS that show information regarding transactions processed in Offline Mode.

On the POS, for users with user role access to Reports, there is an Offline Credit report that shows any pending credit card transactions that have not yet been sent to the credit processor.
