Sempo App FAQs
Online Payments are the default payment method. Transactions sync in real-time with the dashboard and blockchain.
Offline Payments are the fallback payment method. Transactions occur on the Vendor device and increment the card balance to prevent the beneficiary double-spending funds across multiple vendors. Once the Vendor has internet, the transaction will sync with the dashboard and the blockchain.
