# Sell WiFi with M-PESA

Guests in Kenya pay for your WiFi with M-PESA and confirm with their PIN on their phone. WifiPadi runs the login page, the plans and the router, and the money goes to you.

## How a guest pays

1. The guest joins your WiFi and your login page opens.
2. They choose a plan and pick M-PESA. Card and bank transfer are there too.
3. They confirm the payment with their M-PESA PIN on their phone.
4. WifiPadi lets the phone online as soon as the payment goes through.

## How the money reaches you

- Your own payment account. Connect your Paystack or Flutterwave account. Every sale settles to you on that provider's schedule, and WifiPadi takes no cut.
- Instant Payments, no registered business needed. Guests pay by mobile money through WifiPadi's payments partner, and you withdraw to a Kenyan bank account or your M-PESA wallet whenever you like. You need a photo ID and a short selfie check, and no registered business.

## What it costs

KSh2,000 per location a month, after a 21 day free trial with no card needed. WifiPadi takes no cut when you use your own Paystack or Flutterwave account. Your payment provider's own fees are separate.
