Offline payments

[xapienz]

Hello,
Samsung Pay is advertised as being able to make payments when there is no connection to the Internet. But it doesn't work, Samsung Pay requires the connection every time I'm trying to make a payment.
Please fix it.

Best regards,
Evgeny

Use Mobile Data? or WiFi?

The question is about using without mobile data or Wi-Fi. For example, Apple Pay can do it, unlike Samsung Pay.

Samsung pay does not support offline payment because it requires real-time communication for security

And how about this?

In Korea, Samsung Pay requires real-time integration according to Korean financial policies.

A good question.
But I guess Samsung Pay(let me call it SP) needs any type of an active internet connection when purchasing in Korea at least, where your SFC credit card had been issued. When a payment is made, SP uses one-time virtual card number and checks the user identification instantly that it may possibly require any network connection.
One of the cases of no-connection necessary is when you use SP just as a membership barcode which you had already registered.

As far as I heard, SP is quite subject to the credit card issuers or the policy/rules per country. It is known that the phone device itself is set not compatible thoughout the countries yet. Though you use well SP in Korea, it may not work properly in other overseas country with the same phone, even in case of the country SP has already been in service.
What you quoted (it seems you might read it as available for "10 transacrions" without internet access) might be an effective faq content only for the customers in US. Whereas in the Korean content for the similar question, they say internet connection is required for the payment transaction.

I think you are right, the requirement to use the Internet may be special for Korea
