Is an Internet connection required for each POS?

Do I need Internet access on each POS?

Yes, an Internet connection is needed to verify EMVS-enabled products. 

However, if an Internet connection is not available at the time, the Shireburn POS will continue with the sale, and the products will be decommissioned once an Internet connection has been established.
