Section 4.5.3: Offline Mode & Background Synchronization
How the mobile client handles intermittent connectivity, offline draft saves, and background data sync.

Offline Mode & Background Synchronization

Continue browsing catalogs, preparing drafts, and reviewing orders even in low-connectivity areas.

Local database caches store your active order queues and product drafts, synchronizing seamlessly once connectivity returns.

Core Architecture & Principles

  • Local Indexed Cache: Offline SQLite storage maintaining your recent orders, customer dialogues, and product drafts.
  • Draft Persistence: Create and edit product listings without active Wi-Fi; changes upload automatically when reconnected.
  • Bandwidth Optimization: Intelligent image compression and WebP formatting to conserve mobile cellular data.

Operational Process & Execution Flow

Offline Operation

Continue editing store configurations or preparing responses during network interruptions.

Auto-Reconnection

The mobile client automatically detects internet restoration and initiates queue sync.

Conflict Resolution

Timestamped transactional checks ensure server data takes precedence without loss of local drafts.

Sync Notice

Financial transactions and escrow releases cannot be executed while offline; a secure online connection is required.
