Why ChinoWiFi

Everything you need to sell internet — none of the parts you don't.

Stop renting cybercafés or sharing revenue with someone else's portal. Run a real WiFi business on infrastructure designed for the way Tanzania actually pays, browses, and connects.

Your brand, your domain

Use yourname.chinowifi.com or bring your own domain. Customers see you — not us.

Real mobile-money checkout

STK-push payments verified on the server side. No duplicate charges, no manual reconciliation, no lost shillings.

Live dashboard

See active sessions, revenue, plans sold, and subscriber growth in real time — from any device.

Works with your MikroTik

RADIUS authorize + accounting that speaks MikroTik natively. Per-device speed queues, voucher login, captive bypass.

SMS that actually arrives

Notify customers when their plan is active, expiring, or topped up. Sender ID in your business name.

Multi-site, multi-router

Run one portal across many venues. Per-site plans, per-router policies, one set of books.

How it works

From zero to selling WiFi in 3 simple steps.

No engineers, no servers to set up, no waiting weeks for an integrator. Sign up, point your router, get paid.

Create your portal

Pick a name, verify your phone over SMS, and your branded portal goes live on yourname.chinowifi.com instantly.

Connect your router

Add your MikroTik in the dashboard. We configure RADIUS, the hotspot, and the captive bypass for you.

Start collecting payments

Customers connect, pick a plan, pay via mobile money, and get online. You watch the revenue chart tick up.

Features

A serious billing engine without the enterprise price tag.

Each tenant gets the same hardened, multi-tenant SaaS platform — payment idempotency, encrypted credentials, real RADIUS accounting, the works.

Time, data, and combo plans

Sell hours, days, weeks, MB caps, or both at once — your call.

Voucher generation

Print or sell pre-paid codes for offline sales, schools, events.

Per-device speed control

Throttle on cap, block, or pay-as-you-go — your policy, enforced.

Returning-customer auto-login

Recognise the device, skip the captive portal, just connect.

Multi-operator dashboards

Owner, admin, operator, viewer — invite staff with the right access.

Custom domain + free TLS

Point yourname.com at us and we issue and renew the certificate automatically.

Bank-grade payment safety

Server-side payment verification + idempotent ledger — no double credits, ever.

Encrypted credential storage

Your mobile-money and SMS API keys stored with envelope encryption.

Multi-tenant isolation

Postgres row-level security keeps your data invisible to other operators.

Accurate data accounting

RADIUS counters converted to deltas — never over-bill on session resume.

The honest comparison

DIY hotspot vs. ChinoWiFi

If you've ever tried to build this yourself, you know the list. Here's what you stop worrying about when you move to ChinoWiFi.

🛠️ Building it yourself

  • Weeks integrating each mobile-money provider — and every change breaks you.
  • Manual reconciliation of who paid for what and when.
  • Customers double-charged when callbacks retry.
  • Vouchers in a spreadsheet, lost on staff turnover.
  • No clue how much data each plan actually used.
  • Restart RouterOS to fix a bug — kicks everyone offline.

✅ With ChinoWiFi

  • Mobile-money providers ready out of the box — flip a switch.
  • Every payment is reconciled and ledgered automatically.
  • Idempotent webhooks: same payment never credited twice.
  • Voucher batches generated, exported, and redeemed in the dashboard.
  • RADIUS accounting in deltas — quotas accurate to the megabyte.
  • Push config to your MikroTik from the dashboard, no SSH needed.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

How much does ChinoWiFi cost?

You start free. We earn when you earn — a small share of mobile-money revenue collected through the platform. No setup fees, no monthly minimums, no hardware to buy. Talk to us for volume pricing once you scale beyond a few hundred subscribers.

Do I need to buy new equipment?

No. If you already run a MikroTik router (any model that supports RouterOS RADIUS — RB750, hAP, CCR, the lot), you're ready. We configure the hotspot, RADIUS pointers, and per-device speed queues for you.

What mobile-money providers do you support?

M-Pesa (Vodacom), Tigo Pesa / Mixx by Yas, Airtel Money, and Halopesa are supported via aggregator gateways like ZenoPay, PalmPesa, and Pesapal. You bring (or open) the merchant account; we plug it into your tenant.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Point a CNAME from your domain to our platform and we issue a free TLS certificate automatically. Customers see your brand and your domain at every step.

What about my data — is it isolated?

Every tenant lives inside Postgres row-level security with forced isolation. Sessions are tenant-bound. Payment and SMS credentials are stored with envelope encryption. Other operators cannot see your subscribers, plans, or revenue — and neither can a curious staff member without the right role.

Can I sell vouchers offline?

Absolutely. Generate batches in the dashboard, print them on receipts or cards, and your customers redeem them on the captive portal. Great for schools, events, and venues where mobile money isn't always practical.

How fast can I be live?

Most operators complete signup, add their router, and take their first payment in under 30 minutes. The portal itself is live the moment your phone OTP verifies.

I run more than one venue. Does that work?

Yes — multi-router and multi-site is built in. Add as many routers as you like under one tenant, set per-site plans, and view consolidated revenue across all of them.
