Know someone selling WiFi?Get paid for the introduction.

A hotspot operator puts internet (usually Starlink) into a place where lots of people stay or pass through — a lodge, hostel, hotel, estate or lounge — and sells access to it. Guests buy a WiFi code for a set time or amount of data (for example ₦200 for 1 hour, ₦1,500 for a week), type the code on the WiFi login page, and they're online.

It's a real business: one busy lodge can sell hundreds of codes a month. Many operators run several locations.

Without us, most operators sell codes by hand. That means:

• Guests send a transfer, then wait for the operator to confirm it and send a code — even at 2am.
• Fake “I've paid” screenshots, and staff selling codes and keeping the money.
• Printed voucher cards that get lost, shared or stolen.
• No clear record of what sold, where, and how much came in.

With HotspotManager, the guest pays online and gets their code instantly, 24/7 — on a web page or a Telegram bot with the operator's own name. The money goes to the operator's bank, and they see every sale on their dashboard. The operator stops being a cashier.

The one-line pitch: “Your guests buy WiFi by themselves, any time of day, and the money lands in your account — you don't have to be awake to make sales.”

A hotspot has three parts: the internet, the WiFi equipment, and a controller that manages the logins.

• Internet: mostly Starlink, sometimes fibre or a 4G/5G router.
• TP-Link Omada — ✅ supported. Ceiling or wall access points named EAP (EAP110, EAP225, EAP610…) managed by an OC200 / OC300 box or Omada Cloud. Very common in lodges and hostels.
• MikroTik — ✅ supported. Small routers like the hAP, RB951 or hEX, often with a “hotspot” login page already set up. Popular with technical installers.
• Others (Ruijie/Reyee, Ubiquiti UniFi, Tenda, cheap home routers) — not supported yet. Don't promise these; tell them to message us.

Quick way to check: ask “What do you use for your WiFi — Omada or MikroTik?” If they say TP-Link or show you a white ceiling disc with a TP-Link logo, it's almost always Omada.

Anyone already selling WiFi, or about to start:

• Lodges and student hostels — especially near universities and polytechnics. The biggest market.
• Hotels, guest houses and short-lets.
• Estates and compounds that share one internet line between many flats.
• Bars, lounges, viewing centres, cafés and co-working spaces.
• Starlink installers and network/CCTV technicians — your best contacts. One installer knows dozens of places, and every new Starlink they install is a new hotspot.
• People who just bought a Starlink and want to make their money back by selling WiFi.

Signs a place is a prospect: a WiFi name like “XYZ Lodge WiFi” that asks for a code, a notice saying “WiFi codes available, see reception”, or an owner who sells codes on WhatsApp.

• Google Maps: search “lodge near [university name]”, “student hostel”, “hotel in [your town]”, “Starlink installer”. Most listings have a phone number — call or WhatsApp them.
• Facebook groups: search “Starlink Nigeria”, “Starlink users Nigeria”, “MikroTik Nigeria”, “Omada Nigeria”, “hostel owners”, “landlords association”. People ask “how do I sell WiFi from my Starlink?” there every day — that's your opening.
• TikTok, Instagram and X: search “Starlink business”, “sell WiFi Starlink”, “hotspot business Nigeria”, “WiFi vendor”.
• WhatsApp groups: student, estate, landlord and tech-installer groups. Share one clear message, not spam.
• Walk in: lodges and hostels around campuses. Connect to their WiFi — if it asks for a code, ask for the manager.
• Your own contacts: the landlord, the hostel owner, the cousin with a Starlink. Start there.

Keep it short and about their problem. A message that works:

“Hi, I noticed you sell WiFi at [place]. How do you sell your codes right now — do people transfer and you send the code yourself? There's a system that lets guests buy and get their code automatically, any time, and the money goes straight to your account. Want me to show you?”

Then send your referral link so they sign up through you. Common questions:

• “Do I need new equipment?” No, if they already use Omada or MikroTik. We connect to what they have.
• “Who holds my money?” They do. Payments land in their own payout balance, and they withdraw to their bank instantly.
• “Is it hard to set up?” No — they add their location from the dashboard, and our team helps if they get stuck.
• “How much does it cost?” ₦35,000 one-time for one location, or ₦100,000 for up to five, then ₦5,000 a month either way. We never take a cut of their plan prices.

Tip: you don't need to be technical. Your job is the introduction — get them to sign up with your link. For anything technical, send them to our support on WhatsApp.
