Process a Transaction in Offline Mode

Use Offline Mode only when it is already enabled and authorized for the terminal and normal network service is unavailable.

Before You Begin

  • Confirm Offline Mode is already enabled for the terminal.
  • Confirm the transaction amount is within the configured limits.
  • Use only the card-entry methods permitted by the current Offline Mode configuration.

Process the Transaction

  1. Begin the transaction using the approved Offline Mode workflow.
  2. Complete the transaction using a supported card-entry method.
  3. Retain the offline receipt or reference number.
  4. Treat the transaction as Pending until it receives a final authorization result.
  5. Restore connectivity as soon as possible so the transaction can be uploaded for authorization.

Contact Support If

  • The transaction exceeds the configured Offline Mode limit.
  • The required card-entry method is unavailable.
  • A duplicate or uncertain offline transaction appears.
  • You are unsure whether the transaction was already captured.

Important: An Offline Mode transaction is not issuer-approved when it is accepted locally. Do not retry the same payment through another method until the offline record and its status have been confirmed.
