Everything in one place

All you need to run a WiFi business

From the moment a customer joins your WiFi to the report at the end of the month.

M-Pesa checkout

Customers pick a package, approve the M-Pesa prompt and are online in seconds - no codes to type.

Branded captive portal

Six layouts, your colours, logo and welcome message - with a live preview before it goes out.

Vouchers

Generate bulk vouchers with a price, duration, data limit and how many devices may share one.

Reconnect with the receipt

The M-Pesa receipt doubles as a voucher, so a customer who drops off gets back on by themselves.

Smart TV mode

Pay on a phone and switch on internet for a TV or any device without a browser.

Speed, data & devices

Set upload and download speed, data caps and shared devices per package.

Strict or pause-able time

Choose whether time keeps running or only counts while the customer is connected.

After-connect page

Send customers to your own website the moment they are online.

37 features across 7 areas — every plan includes them all (remote VPN access is an optional add-on).

How it works

Selling WiFi in three steps

No technician visit, no static IP — you can be selling the same day.

1

Create your account

Sign up in a minute, pick a plan and pay with M-Pesa.

2

Connect your MikroTik

Paste one line into your router. The hotspot, PPPoE and a secure tunnel are set up for you — even without a public IP.

3

Add packages & sell

Customers pay on the WiFi login page and are connected automatically. You watch the money arrive.

Paid straight to you

Customer payments land in your own till, paybill or bank account.

Nothing to babysit

Expiry, cut-off, reconnection and reminders all happen on their own.

Works on any line

Behind CGNAT, no static IP, no port forwarding needed.

Built for Kenya

M-Pesa, KES pricing, local SMS and WhatsApp out of the box.

FAQ

Questions ISPs ask us

Do I need my own MikroTik router?

Yes. Spidlan Billing connects to your MikroTik and sets up the hotspot and PPPoE profiles it needs - you paste one line into the router and the rest is automatic.

Do I need a public IP or port forwarding?

No. Your router connects out over a built-in WireGuard tunnel, so it works behind CGNAT - common on most Kenyan internet lines.

How do my customers pay?

With an M-Pesa prompt on the WiFi login page, or with vouchers you sell. Either way they are connected automatically once payment is confirmed.

Where does the money go?

Straight to your own M-Pesa till, paybill or bank account - you choose it in Payment Settings.

What happens when a customer's time runs out?

They are disconnected automatically. Hotspot customers see the login page to buy again; PPPoE subscribers get a payment page and a reminder with their pay link.

Can I customise my WiFi login page?

Yes - pick a layout and colours, add your logo and welcome message, and preview it live before customers see it.

Can my staff use it without seeing everything?

Yes. Create roles with view or manage access per page, limit staff to certain routers and set their working hours.

Can I reach my routers when I'm away?

Yes. Add a WireGuard VPN for your laptop or phone and pick which of your routers it can reach - then open Winbox from anywhere.

How are SMS charged?

Pay as you go - top up SMS credit from your dashboard. WhatsApp and email notifications are available too.
