Are merchants typically wifi connected?
Im building a android app for clover. Do I need to make my app work offline or can I assume the merchant has internet connectivity?
Merchants often have poor network connectivity. Some merchants operate for days or more without any network connectivity.
You are doing the right thing by thinking about it. Making a fully offline capable app is not trivial, but it'd be a better experience. If you can't do that, code your app to expect poor or no connectivity and fail gracefully in a way that's understandable to the merchant.
Most of Clover's apps are written to work offline, including payment flows as @Dan mentioned.

Devices function offline and can accept payments for 7 days offline before having to go online.
The app has to be able to handle dropped WiFi signals and spotty connections to be approved for the App Market.
