Is Offline-First POS Really Becoming Standard in Emerging Markets? What the Evidence Actually Shows

A cluster of vendor blogs and one sponsored post are pushing the idea that offline-first point-of-sale is now a deliberate design standard for small shops in emerging markets, not a fallback feature.
