If you have a paid WiFi on your sites, it can take a while for customers to set things up. So why not allow them to do it at the comfort of their own home, right?

That is exactly what the Prepay portal will allow you to do. You can simply share this link with the customers and they'll be able to purchase WiFi access before the need to actually use it.

How to use the feature?

To use the PrePay portal, you will have to find the link that you can share with your customers. You can find that under Settings->Payment login->Links

There you will see links for both Customer and Prepay portal. The link that you need is at Prepay portal. Simply copy the link and share it with a customer that would like to purchase their WiFi early.

Once users access the link, they will be prompted with your Spotipo portal. From there, they can select a package that suits them best and finish a purchase by entering their card details and creating an account using email and password.

When does the purchased package activate?

If a user purchases WiFi through this link, the package won't start running out until the users signs in on the captive portal on your guest WiFi network.

How does the user Sign in to WiFi portal?

When user finally arrives on location, they can simply connect to your WiFi network using Spotipo. Then on the next step, they need to select the Already Paid option (Or similar if you renamed it).

Once they select that, they'll be prompted to log in. There they need to enter the same credentials they did when creating the account during PrePay process (same email and password).
