What WifiPadi does
You have customers at one or more locations. WifiPadi lets you sell them WiFi access.- A payment page your guests see when they connect, called a captive portal.
- Plans you control: a price, a time limit, a data limit, a device count.
- Payment straight into your own Paystack, Flutterwave, Squad or PalmPay account. No registered company? Instant Payments collects for you in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Uganda, and you withdraw to your own bank account or, in Ghana and Kenya, mobile money.
- One dashboard for every location you run.
- A WhatsApp assistant your customers can message to check their data and renew.

Your first 21 days are free, and you pay nothing during them. When the trial ends, you get 3 more days with everything running to choose how to pay. New workspaces in Nigeria move onto 2.5% of WiFi sales automatically, so nothing stops. Otherwise, if you have not chosen by then, your routers pause. See Your subscription.
