# MikroTik hotspot billing software

Sell WiFi from your MikroTik on RouterOS 7.3 or newer. Paste one command, and WifiPadi runs the login page, the payments and the limits, with no public IP needed.

## What WifiPadi does on your MikroTik

- **One command setup.** Copy one command from the dashboard into the MikroTik terminal. It sets up the hotspot, the login page, the payment pages guests can reach before they pay, and the connection to WifiPadi.
- **No public IP needed.** The router opens its own secure tunnel to WifiPadi, so it works behind Starlink, 4G and any other shared connection.
- **Limits enforced on the router.** Speed limits, data caps and plan expiry are applied by RouterOS itself through RADIUS, and every megabyte is metered on the router.
- **Sign in that phones recognise.** RouterOS 7.3 and newer tell phones they are on a hotspot, so the login page opens on its own when a guest joins.
- **Update from the dashboard.** When we improve the setup, apply it to your router in one click instead of visiting the site.
- **Winbox from anywhere.** Open Winbox on a router at another site through the secure tunnel, without opening ports on its network.

## Selling in three steps

1. **Create your account.** Add your business and your first location. No card needed.
2. **Connect your router.** Paste the one command we give you. It sets up the login page and payments on your router.
3. **Set your prices.** Create your plans. Guests pay at the login page and get online by themselves.

## Questions hotspot owners ask

### Which MikroTik routers work with WifiPadi?

Any MikroTik router running RouterOS 7.3 or newer. The setup command checks the version first and stops with a clear message if the router needs an update.

### My router runs an older RouterOS. What do I do?

Update it from System, then Packages in Winbox or WebFig, and paste the setup command again.

### Do I need MikroTik User Manager or my own RADIUS server?

No. WifiPadi runs the RADIUS server for you. The setup command points your router at it through the secure tunnel.

### Does my router need a public IP address?

No. The router connects out to WifiPadi through its own tunnel, so it works behind Starlink, 4G routers and carrier NAT.

### Can I keep my access points?

Yes. Access points connect to the MikroTik as before, and every guest on them goes through the WifiPadi login page.

### How much does WifiPadi cost?

It is free for 21 days, with no card needed. After that it is one price per location each month: ₦10,000 in Nigeria, GH₵150 in Ghana, KSh2,000 in Kenya, FCFA 9,000 in Cameroon and USh35,000 in Uganda. New accounts in Nigeria can pay 2.5% of their WiFi sales instead, never more than ₦10,000 per location a month. No sales, no bill. Your payment provider's own fees are separate.
