What happens if my internet goes down?

If your internet goes down, there's no need to worry - we'll give you two viable alternatives to keep your business running smoothly. Although we can't control the stability of your internet provider, there are several ways to minimize downtime:

Mobile hotspot: Nowadays, almost any smartphone can be used as a mobile hotspot. In most cases, a mobile data connection is sufficient to continue receiving orders, processing payments and continuing your day-to-day business as usual. This solution offers a quick and easy alternative, especially during short internet interruptions.

Backup router or LTE router: Another option is to use a backup router that is operated via a mobile data network (e.g. LTE). This switches on automatically if the main connection fails so that you can continue working without interruption.

With these solutions, you are ideally prepared to continue working efficiently and effortlessly even in the event of an internet outage.
