# WiFi hotspot billing in Nigeria

Sell WiFi at your café, hostel, estate or office in Nigeria. Guests pay by card, bank transfer, USSD and OPay and get online in seconds. The money goes to you.

## How guests pay in Nigeria

- **Card.** Debit and credit cards.
- **Bank transfer.** Guests pay from their banking app.
- **USSD.** Guests pay by dialling their bank's code.

## Questions hotspot owners ask

### Can I sell WiFi in Nigeria without a CAC registration?

Yes. Switch on Instant Payments and guests pay by bank transfer or card through WifiPadi's payments partner. You only need your name and a bank account, and you can withdraw to any Nigerian bank, OPay and PalmPay included, whenever you like.

### Who pays the transfer or card fee with Instant Payments?

You cover it by default, so guests pay exactly your price. You can choose to pass it on to guests in your payment settings, and they then pay it on top of the plan price.

### Can I pay a share of my sales instead of a monthly price?

Yes. New accounts in Nigeria pay 2.5% of their WiFi sales, never more than ₦10,000 per location a month, billed at the end of the month. No sales, no bill. Your payment provider's own fees are separate. You can choose the monthly price instead.

### Do I need a Paystack account?

No. Paystack, Flutterwave and Squad all work, and with Instant Payments you need no payment account at all.

### Which routers work with WifiPadi?

MikroTik routers on RouterOS 7.3 or newer, Nano Pi routers, and other routers running OpenWrt. You connect a router by pasting one command we give you in the dashboard.

### Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every new account is free for 21 days with every feature included, and you do not need a card to start.

### Do I need to be technical to use WifiPadi?

No. If you can copy and paste, you can connect a router. Every step is written up in our help centre, and our team answers on WhatsApp.
