Offline Mode
Lessen the impact of network or communication outages by continuing to accept payments on your EFTPOS terminal
Offline mode on your EFTPOS terminal
Offline mode allows your EFTPOS terminal to continue processing payments when it can’t connect to the payments network due to a network outage or communication error.
It does this by creating Electronic Offline Vouchers (EOV) and storing the payments to upload to the payments network later. Once a successful connection has been restored, the terminal will automatically send stored offline transactions through for processing.
Continue taking payments without a hitch even in an outage.
Making payments easy with Offline mode
No disruption to payments
Continue taking payments during an outage. Your transactions are stored securely until the EFTPOS terminal goes back "online" again
Activates automatically
If the terminal can't connect to the payment network, this mode activates automatically to provide emergency payment processing continuity
Transactions processed securely
The terminal attempts to go back online every 10 minutes. Once successful it will automatically upload the stored transactions for processing
Why get Offline mode

How to get setup with Offline mode

What our customers have to say
Aurelia Sierra P.
We decided to switch providers from WindCave for their poor service etc. From the "Get-Go" we dealth with Xev. They made it so easy for us. From signing up and making sure we knew what our next step was and ETA's - we were communicated with from the JUMP. Thank you SmartPay team - give my mate Xev a raise or some sort of recognition please.Even after we were all set up - when I emailed for assistance, he referred us onto the help desk team and was so polite and informative. Its always very nerve racking when switching providers and even more so when your liaison is not even informative. We really do appreciate your amazing service Xev!Highly recommend!Team at Health New Lynn

Jamie is an amazing rep - he has chased my business, and chased my bank for me. Apart from being friendly and efficient, he was also really good at getting the job done.I have been the worst customer ever - but he got me there in the end 🙂 5 stars and a pay rise for Jamie!
