Sell WiFi by the hour. Get paid by mobile money.
Wifasta turns a small router and your phone's mobile data into a pay-to-use hotspot. Your customers pay with M-Pesa, Airtel Money or Mixx by Yas, type the transaction ID, and are online in seconds. No vouchers, no attendant.
Money goes straight to your own mobile money number. Wifasta never holds it.
How it works
Your customers do everything themselves, on their own phone.
They join your WiFi
Your page opens by itself, with your business name and your prices.
They pay your number
By USSD, which works before they are online. Any amount; extra stays as credit.
They type the transaction ID
From their confirmation SMS. Wifasta checks it against the payment on your phone.
They are online
Within seconds, for the time they paid for. When it ends, the device is cut off by itself.

Questions
Do I need an internet cable?
No. The router gets internet from a phone's mobile data, so you can run a hotspot anywhere with network coverage.
Who holds the money?
You do. Customers pay your own mobile money number. Wifasta only reads the confirmation SMS to know who paid.
Which payment methods work?
M-Pesa, Airtel Money and Mixx by Yas. Ask us about others.
What if a customer pays too much or too little?
The whole amount becomes credit. The best plan it covers starts at once, and the rest is kept for next time.
Can one payment be used twice?
No. Each transaction ID works once, and only at the hotspot whose number received it.
