FAQs

Q. Can we print labels and thermal receipts in offline mode?
A. Yes, you can. However, the Wi-Fi connection for your iPad should not be off. If the Wi-Fi is off, you cannot print the label or invoice.

Q. Can we pay through any other payment method except cash?
A. No. You can only pay through cash in offline mode.
