Offline mode is great for when the shops WiFi or local provider is having connectivity issues. The Square software and reader queue card swipes and transactions along with tip and receipt information until a connection is reestablished. You can just keep ringing people up.

Today, we went into offline mode automatically and processed a few transactions. Then our app was forcibly logged out of Square service and we couldn't get back in to continue in offline mode.
