POS UI extensions can now continue running even when a merchant’s device loses network access.

This feature ensures uninterrupted service during connectivity issues. It is especially beneficial for merchants in environments with unreliable internet, such as pop-up shops, outdoor markets, or large retail spaces.

### How to Enable

To enable this feature, set `runs_offline = true` in the `[extensions.supported_features]` section of your extension configuration:

```toml
[extensions.supported_features]
runs_offline = true
```

Once enabled, your extension will continue to function even if the merchant’s device loses network access. For comprehensive details on configuring offline behavior and best practices, refer to our [developer documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/pos-ui-extensions/latest#run-extensions-without-network-access).

### Requirements

* POS version 11.0 or later
* Shopify CLI v3.92 or later
