ChinoWiFi gives ISPs, venues, hostels, restaurants and resellers a complete white-label hotspot billing platform. Mobile money payments, vouchers, real-time dashboards, and MikroTik-ready RADIUS — live in minutes, not weeks.
Mobile money, built in
Why ChinoWiFi
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.
Use yourname.chinowifi.com or bring your own domain. Customers see you — not us.
STK-push payments verified on the server side. No duplicate charges, no manual reconciliation, no lost shillings.
See active sessions, revenue, plans sold, and subscriber growth in real time — from any device.
RADIUS authorize + accounting that speaks MikroTik natively. Per-device speed queues, voucher login, captive bypass.
Notify customers when their plan is active, expiring, or topped up. Sender ID in your business name.
Run one portal across many venues. Per-site plans, per-router policies, one set of books.
How it works
No engineers, no servers to set up, no waiting weeks for an integrator. Sign up, point your router, get paid.
Pick a name, verify your phone over SMS, and your branded portal goes live on yourname.chinowifi.com instantly.
Add your MikroTik in the dashboard. We configure RADIUS, the hotspot, and the captive bypass for you.
Customers connect, pick a plan, pay via mobile money, and get online. You watch the revenue chart tick up.
Features
Each tenant gets the same hardened, multi-tenant SaaS platform — payment idempotency, encrypted credentials, real RADIUS accounting, the works.
Sell hours, days, weeks, MB caps, or both at once — your call.
Print or sell pre-paid codes for offline sales, schools, events.
Throttle on cap, block, or pay-as-you-go — your policy, enforced.
Recognise the device, skip the captive portal, just connect.
Owner, admin, operator, viewer — invite staff with the right access.
Point yourname.com at us and we issue and renew the certificate automatically.
Server-side payment verification + idempotent ledger — no double credits, ever.
Your mobile-money and SMS API keys stored with envelope encryption.
Postgres row-level security keeps your data invisible to other operators.
RADIUS counters converted to deltas — never over-bill on session resume.
The honest comparison
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.
Frequently asked
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
