Implement an internet failover solution

This topic describes best practices for implementing an internet failover solution so the store can continue to process electronic payments if the store loses its internet connection.

Maintaining a stable and reliable internet connection is a common challenge for stores. Without an active internet connection, stores cannot process the most popular methods of payment - debit and credit cards - and losing valuable transactions.

For this reason, we recommend that all stores implement an internet failover solution, such as 3G/4G cellular technology, that will allow them to continue processing debit and credit cards if their internet connection is disrupted or fails. Meraki, a cloud networking solution from Cisco, is highly regarded in the industry. You can learn more about Meraki in this article.
