Purchase-redemption Wi-Fi
Give customers free Wi-Fi when they buy, or let them top up access for longer sessions through prepaid packages.

Make your café's Wi-Fi earn its keep.
Hook customers on fast, simple connectivity while you sell access plans, redeem purchase-based Wi-Fi, and collect clean customer insights — all from a branded portal on your subdomain.
CAPABILITIES

Customer and session data
See connect frequency, returning customers and peak times without invasive tracking.
Fair-usage enforcement

WHY AUTHNET
Why cafés run their Wi-Fi on Authnet
Wi-Fi access is part of your service promise. Authnet removes the manual work — issuing codes, logging into routers, chasing expiries — so access becomes an automated, monetized part of the experience your customers already expect.
- Monetize Wi-Fi with low-touch plans instead of giving access away blindly.
- Redeem Wi-Fi as a reward for purchases to encourage in-store spend.
- Keep sessions fair with quota, time and device limits enforced automatically.
- Turn every login into brand exposure and repeat-visit signals.
- Launch in an afternoon from the admin dashboard — no developer required.

FAQ
Common questions
We give free Wi-Fi — will this change that?
Only if you want it to. You can keep free basics and charge only for longer sessions or faster tiers, or use voucher codes to reward purchases.
Will customers be forced to create accounts?
No. Buyers can pay without an account, and voucher holders just redeem a code. Accounts are optional and convenient for regulars.
