Bulk user import allows you to create hundreds or thousands of guest WiFi accounts at once using a CSV file, eliminating tedious manual account creation. This is essential for hotels assigning accounts to rooms, conferences distributing credentials to attendees, or organizations provisioning WiFi access for large groups.

This guide walks you through preparing a CSV file with account parameters and importing it into Spotipo. Each account can have custom settings for duration, data limits, and speed restrictions.

What you'll accomplish:

  • Prepare a CSV file with guest account credentials and parameters

  • Configure duration, data limits, and speed restrictions per account

  • Import multiple accounts simultaneously

  • Generate unique WiFi credentials for distribution

What you'll need:

  • Spotipo account with username/password login enabled

  • CSV template file (download from Spotipo)

  • Spreadsheet software to edit CSV (Excel, Google Sheets)

Spotipo supports username & password login where you can create accounts for your Guests. If you have a large number of accounts to be created, instead of manually creating them one by one, you can use the CSV import functionality.

Here are the steps:

Prepare the CSV file.

Please download this template. And fill in the account values.

  • duration_val Specifies how long this account should be valid. Type the Integer

  • duration_type Specifies the unit for duration_type type Integar values

  • 1 for Minutes

  • 2 for Hours

  • 3 for Days

  • bytes_t How much data should this account have type Integer use 0 for unlimited

  • bytes_type = Specifies the unit for bytes_t type Integer

  • 1 for the Total limit

  • 2 for Daily limit

  • 3 for Weekly limit,

  • 4 for Monthly limit

  • speed_dl = Download speed (Kbps), Use 0 for unlimited

  • speed_ul = Upload speed (Kbps), Use 0 for unlimited

Import Accounts

Once the file is ready, navigate to the right site using the site selector. Go to the Guest accounts tab and use the import option

Accounts Successfully Imported

After uploading your CSV file, all accounts are created with the specified parameters. You can now distribute credentials to guests via printed cards, email, or your preferred method.

What to do next:

  • Export the account list if you need to print credentials

  • Test a few accounts to verify duration and limits work correctly

  • Create a distribution system for delivering credentials to guests

CSV parameter quick reference:

  • duration_type: 1=Minutes, 2=Hours, 3=Days

  • bytes_type: 1=Total, 2=Daily, 3=Weekly, 4=Monthly

  • Speed limits: Enter value in Kbps (0=unlimited)

Common import errors:

  • Invalid CSV format: Ensure file matches template structure exactly

  • Missing required fields: Username and password are mandatory

  • Invalid parameter values: Use integers for duration_type and bytes_type
