How to Switch from Offline Astro Mode to Online

The key difference between online and offline modes is accuracy and offer validation. In offline mode, Astro discounts are converted into internal FranPOS discounts and applied automatically when our system has the offer data. In online mode, the offer request goes directly to Astro servers, which ensures real-time validation and rewards, though this may not work reliably in offline mode.

Additionally, online mode supports a wider range of Astro offers and applies them more easily and automatically, while offline mode requires periodic manual synchronization and checks.

To switch the mode to online please follow the steps:
1. Go to my.franpos.com and open Settings.
2. Click Frequent Buyer.

3. Switch the Mode toggle to Online, then click the dropdown arrow and select Save and Sync Astro Products.

Once this is done, you will need to sync the register app for the changes to take effect.
