The swiper functionality reads the 1st and 2nd line of the magnetic stripe on the credit card, and distributes them to the correct fields for the selected payment.

Off line Functionality

The first time you start the POS a backup is made of customers and all products from your Magento store. The backup is stored locally on your PC in a WebSQL data storage. The backup is renewed regularly, and depending on your needs you can set the frequency. A small Management board for offline/online status is accessible in the lower right corner of your screen. The board gives status of online/offline connectivity, and in online mode it gives the option push for full data update.

A continuous check is running to see if your POS station has a connection to the internet. In case you lose your connection, the POS system switches to offline mode. The POS will now use the data it has stored locally to make the transactions. This feature makes you able to still handle your sales even without internet. Instead of using the online database from Magento the X-POS switch to using a local stored database of all products, prices, customer data and payment methods.
