Go live: make a test purchase

Do this once on your own phone before you tell customers.

1. Join your guest Wi-Fi. Your Wi-Fi page should open by itself. If it doesn't, open any website (for example neverssl.com).
2. Pick the cheapest plan and pay. With test keys, use your provider's test card. With live keys, it's a real payment you can refund.
3. Check you're online. Browse for a minute.
4. In your dashboard, open Payments. You should see the payment marked Paid, with how long access took.

The Make a test purchase step ticks off when a real payment reaches a real router.

#Switching to live payments

Replace your test keys with your live keys in Settings → Payments (sk_live_… for Paystack, FLWSECK-… for Flutterwave, MK_PROD_… for Monnify), and set the same webhook URL in your provider's live settings. Buy one plan again to confirm.

#Tell customers

Put the Wi-Fi name on your tables, receipts or reception desk: "Wi-Fi: Your Wi-Fi name. Join, pick a plan, pay, you're online." Keep a few vouchers at the counter for people who want to pay cash.
