Restore offline card reconciliation after reconnection
Payment continuity often depends on small recovery behaviors working predictably under pressure.
Fast restoration can matter as much as preserving the conditions that keep service moving.
“I can keep taking payments, but I can’t spend my night chasing what didn’t settle.”

- transaction completion vs. manager clarity
