Guest Wi-Fi & Captive Portal

Your Wi-Fi. Your welcome. Your terms.

Make your guest Wi-Fi work for your venue. Combine application policies, speed limits, data allowances and access duration into plans and tiers—then welcome guests through your branded portal.

01

Welcome guests in your own style

Give visitors a recognizable, branded place to connect instead of an unexplained login screen.

02

Build more than a free-or-paid offer

Combine different limits and permissions into tiers, from fair-use complimentary access to paid upgrades with more freedom.

03

Connect access to your business

Accept payments through Stripe or give guests access with vouchers. Shape the offer around a stay, a visit or a purchase.

A welcome that feels like you

Turn a login screen into your front door.

Personalize your captive portal with your own branding, logo and colors. Shape the welcome with your choice of typography, header and hero image, so connecting to Wi-Fi feels like part of your venue.

  • Add your logo and venue name to make the portal recognizable.
  • Match your brand with custom colors, fonts and a hero image.
  • Keep the next step clear: choose a plan and connect.

Flexible plans are the difference

Create the access your guests need—and the limits your network needs.

Build your own mix of plans and tiers instead of offering everyone the same connection. Combine application policies, throughput limits, data allowances and access duration to balance complimentary service with paid upgrades.

  • Control applications and categories, such as software updates, ads or streaming.
  • Set speed, data-volume and time allowances to suit each tier.
  • Offer higher allowances and fewer restrictions through an upgraded plan.

Ideas for your venue

Example configurations to adapt to your connectivity, guests and business—not fixed packages.

Hotels: make shared bandwidth go further

Offer a complimentary plan with fair-use speed and data limits. Restrict software updates and ads, and streaming where bandwidth is especially scarce. Offer paid tiers with more bandwidth, more usage and fewer restrictions.

Cafés & restaurants: access that follows the visit

Offer 30 or 60 minutes of complimentary Wi-Fi. Guests can then buy more access or redeem another voucher provided with a purchase. Keep free access fair and aligned with customer purchases.

Remote camps & at sea: start with the essentials

Offer complimentary access to supported messaging and map services, with broader access in other tiers. Focus scarce bandwidth on essential everyday connectivity.

Welcome an international audience

The guest portal supports 11 languages. Use AI to automatically translate your plan content, then review the wording so guests can understand the access you offer.

  • Review translated descriptions for the tone and details of your venue.
  • English
  • Simplified Chinese

Paid access or a welcome on the house

Turn a purchase—or a voucher—into access.

Offer paid plans through Stripe, or use vouchers to grant guest access. Connect the Wi-Fi offer to how you serve customers, from complimentary access with a purchase to an optional upgrade.

  • Available now: Stripe payments for paid access.
  • Vouchers: give guests a way to redeem access, including vouchers provided with a venue purchase.
  • Planned: PayPal, Mercado Pago and additional regional payment methods as needed. These are not available today.
