What is an off-device payment request?

Using Softpay Cloud API a transaction can be started from a separate device, computer or system, such as a stationary POS system, Windows computer, etc. The transaction will be sent as a hidden push notification to the device running Softpay app, where it will start up a payment action in the Softpay app. Status and outcome of the transaction is available in the REST based Cloud API and as webhooks (callbacks).
