Overview

Offline mode: what works and what to do after reconnect is a common workflow in TillTech. This guide covers the recommended setup path and the checks that help you avoid mistakes.

Before You Start

  • A configured terminal or POS device
  • At least one payment method enabled
  • Products available to sell

Recommended Steps

  1. Start an order and add items using search or quick keys.
  2. Apply modifiers/notes and confirm pricing before taking payment.
  3. Select payment method (cash/card/split) and complete the transaction.
  4. Print or send the receipt if needed.
  5. Verify the transaction appears in your daily sales summary.

Best Practices

  • Make one small change at a time and validate the result.
  • Test the full flow end-to-end before rolling out to staff.
  • Keep permissions tight: give access only to people who need it.
  • Use consistent naming for products, categories, and locations.

Troubleshooting

  • If a setting appears not to apply, confirm you are editing the correct location/workspace.
  • If reports don’t match expectations, verify time zone and tax settings first.
  • If devices aren’t syncing, check network connectivity and re-authenticate where applicable.
