I have an employee who doesn't have an smart phone and therefore is unable to have the app to run cards. My business is a taxi/shuttle business so I really need her to be able to swipe cards. I have an ipad, wondering if I get the app set up on it, can it swipe cards even though it is not connected to the internet most of the time? Is there a limit on the amount? Any other suggestions?
Yes, this will work you just need to turn on "Offline Mode". However, Offline Mode was there for internet disruptions not for going a whole day. You may see declined sales after it connects and tries to run the cards. I would look into a cellular iPad. Connection is much cheaper then a smart phone on most networks.
