What is Offline Payments? A Simple Guide

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.

    • 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
