When the internet goes down

What the app still does offline, what it blocks, and what to do when the connection returns.

For: Everyone3 min

Read this the moment the orange bar appears at the top of the screen. Charging a sale needs a connection; most screens keep working on the data already loaded.

Before you start

  • You can see the bar Offline — running on cached data at the top.
  • Someone can check the router or the phone hotspot.

Steps

  1. Keep serving: you can still search products, scan, build a cart and use Hold. Prices shown are the last ones loaded.
  2. Do not try to charge. Process payment shows You’re offline with Checkout needs a connection. Reconnect and try again. Hold the cart instead.
  3. Check the connection: router lights, cable, or switch the computer to a phone hotspot.
  4. Wait for the bar to turn green with All actions synced. It disappears after a few seconds.
  5. Tap Resume on the held sale and charge it. Repeat for every held customer.
  6. Do not upload photos or logos while offline; the app refuses with Offline — … Reconnect and try again.

Check it worked

  • The sidebar status shows Online and the orange bar is gone.
  • The first sale after reconnecting completes with Sale complete and prints.

If something goes wrong

ProblemWhat to do
The bar stays orange for a long timeThe problem is your internet, not the app. Use a phone hotspot to finish the queue, and call your provider.
A sale was charged just as the connection droppedCheck Payments → Recent Payments after reconnecting. If it is not there, charge it again; if it is, do not.
A message says the license could not be verifiedThe app keeps working for a period without internet. Reconnect before the date shown to avoid a lock; if it locks, contact support via WhatsApp (see the Contact section of our site).
The connection is back but the app still says offlineSign out and sign in again. If it persists, restart the app.
