Operators can now accept payments including Nayax Prepaid cards (MIFARE) even in cases of limited or unstable connectivity e.g. on trains and buses, and offer customers faster checkout in high-traffic environments like parking and public restrooms.
Offline Payments enables transaction processing in environments with limited connectivity or high traffic volumes, operating in two modes:
As Backup Mode
-
- Activates automatically during connectivity issues
- Stores transactions locally until connection restores
- Configurable limits by time or transaction count
- Ideal for mobile environments (trains, buses)
Always On Mode
-
- Processes transactions in batches for faster throughput
- Triggers processing after 10-minute idle time or preset transaction count
- Optimized for high-traffic locations (parking, public facilities)
Technical Requirements
-
- Supports EMV Contactless/NFC transactions only
- Compatible with single-vend MDB, Pulse, and Marshall machines
- Requires pre-selection mode
- No support for extra charges/discounts during offline operation
Simply configure based on your environment's specific needs. How to Configure Offline Payments | Operations
