What’s an offline POS machine?

If you have ever gone to withdraw funds in a mobile payment booth in Nigeria, the chances of you getting debited without receiving your money are as high as I can imagine. This isn’t the case with POS machines, the only thing with POS machines is that there is no computers and sensors that can detect if there was a dispensing error or not and return the money debited from your account.

If there are network problems, POS machines malfunction, and that is often the beginning of weeks upon weeks of to and from the bank movements and calls. That isn’t the case with offline POS machines.

Offline POS machines allow you to carry out offline transactions on an Offline cache. Offline POS machines work only when you have unstable internet connections, so it would be able to perform basic transactions, save the data, and as soon as there is a reconnection with the internet, you will be able to upload all transactions and data entered to the server.

Now, this means that transactions made with your Nigerian bank ATMs are not possible, because you will need to access the customer’s database with your bank to be able to withdraw from and credit their account.

Any other transactions other than ATM withdrawals on your POS should work just fine.
