REST API

Processing an Offline Transaction

This section describes how to enable and disable Offline mode when the app is in Semi-Integrated mode. When internet connectivity is not available, you can use this mode to process offline sale and refund transactions.

Offline mode is a customizable feature that you can enable in the Business Center. The default setting is

Disabled

. For more information, see Customizing the Acceptance Devices App.

WARNING

By using this feature, you assume the risk of the failed transactions, increased fraud, and increased chargebacks. Only process offline transactions if required, such as when your internet connection is unavailable. The recommendation is to process online sale transactions instead. For more information, see Processing a Sale.

When internet connectivity is available, you must submit the offline transactions batch for authorization while in Offline mode.
