Solo and Electron *were* online only (i.e. online authorisation only).

I took "online only" to mean that the cards could only be used for
online purchases. One scheme for this involves 'virtual cards' where the
number can only be used once - so fraudsters scraping the details can
never make a subsequent purchase with them.

OK - yes confusingly in the payment card world, "online only" means
'online authorisation only', nowt to do with online (website) purchases.
