More detail
The worst response to an outage is a system that blocks the sale until it reconnects, turning a short network blip into a queue of frustrated customers.
Offline-first means the counter keeps moving and nothing is lost. When the line is back, the queue clears on its own. Aim to reconnect the same day so the queue stays short.
