Enable Square Offline Mode
Offline credit card processing is ideal for festivals, open-air fundraisers, onsite ticket sales, and other times when you’re in a remote location without connectivity or the network goes down from overuse. It’s also a lifesaver when the Wi-Fi goes down in your brick-and-mortar store. With Offline Mode, you can still keep your business up and running.
Important Note: Only Square swiper, Square stand gen 1, and gen 2 (swipe only) are compatible with Square offline mode. The square chip reader and square terminal don't support the offline mode by default from the Square end.
