Hotspot billing software
for paid WiFi that runs itself
Sell WiFi by the hour, day or gigabyte without standing at the door. Iterative Billing gives every site a branded captive portal where customers pay by mobile money or card and connect automatically, vouchers for agents and walk-ins, and MikroTik hotspot control so access ends exactly when the bundle does.

The hotspot problems this solves
The old way: Paper vouchers and no record of who sold what.
Generate time or data vouchers in bulk, hand batches to agents, and see sales, redemptions and revenue per batch.
The old way: Customers who can only buy when an attendant is there.
Self-purchase on the captive portal: the customer picks a bundle, pays by mobile money or card, and is connected when the payment is confirmed, day or night.
The old way: Software fees that grow with every site you open.
Routers and hotspot sites are never metered. You pay 2% of the hotspot revenue actually collected, capped at $27 a month until you collect $5,400, and never more than $45.

Questions operators ask
What does hotspot billing software do?
It sells and controls paid WiFi access. It shows a captive portal, takes a payment or a voucher code, opens a session with the right speed and duration on the router, and closes it when the bundle runs out.
Which payment methods can customers use on the portal?
It depends on the country: M-Pesa through Daraja in Kenya, MTN MoMo and Airtel Money in Uganda through ioTec Pay, and Paystack, Flutterwave, Pesapal and WaafiPay where those gateways operate. Payments settle into your own merchant account.
How much does hotspot billing cost?
Outside Kenya, 2% of the hotspot revenue you successfully collect, capped at $27 a month until you collect $5,400 and at $45 above that, with a $9 monthly minimum and a one-time $9 account fee. In Kenya the same meter is priced in shillings and capped at KSh 3,000 up to KSh 600,000 collected.
Do vouchers work without internet at the point of sale?
Yes. Vouchers are generated in advance and can be printed or shared, so an agent can sell them anywhere. Redemption happens when the customer enters the code on the portal.
Can I run hotspot and PPPoE customers together?
Yes. Hotspot users and fixed PPPoE customers share one dashboard, one RADIUS and the same payment accounts.
