For high-transaction convenience stores, the mobile POS solutions most commonly known for offline capability / store-and-forward processing include:
- Square for Retail / Square POS — works offline for many sale flows and syncs when back online.

A few important notes:
- “Offline capability” can mean cash sales only, card authorization store-and-forward, or full local transaction processing.
- In high-volume convenience stores, solutions that rely on local edge processing or hybrid cloud/local architecture tend to be more reliable than pure cloud POS.
- Actual offline payment support depends on country, payment processor, terminal hardware, and card network rules.
