PoS devices are usually networked. If you don't validate transactions in realtime you would later validate in batch, but that has more risk than validating at the time of transaction.
- Scoundreller 3y ago> If you don't validate transactions in realtime you would later validate in batch yeah, a lot of orgs just don't enable that (or don't have a process to enable it as required, and have difficulty pushing out a notice to do so if the network is down!). Also can only do offline credit card transactions. Can't with our Interac (Canadian-only) debit network. Unsure about Visa/Mastercard debit transactions.
