Is anyone using any of Ubiquiti's UniFi AP's as an HotSpot Service which also allows online purchasing of access with success in accepting payment in ZAR?

I ran a hotshot in my old complex few years back.

Because the users don't have such a high turnover (such as a shopping mall for example), I just used a Outdoor AP, combined with a Mikrotik router and MAC adress filtering for each device on the network.

The Mikrotik router could track individual usage, set usage caps, and easily enable/disable users. I specifically wanted users to pay per device and or household, and not give the neighbours the WiFi code so MAC filtering was the obvious choice. Worked like a charm.

I dont think you can process payments within the Ubiquity controller framework...well unless you got a coding buddy

I use this, somehow. it was set up and I just log in every month to pull reports and issue new vouchers.

its quite good, but I have no clue how to get it set up from scratch.

Anyone come right here - using Unifi in SA and Payment Gateway, I'm keen to setup up a "Hotspot" portal for guests that are in our area - as we are close to some coffee shops etc. more so for fun to see if anyone actually signs up for the internet.

I have a 1,000Mbps/500Mbps Fibre Line and don't mind shaving some off for some testing... also our gear is all on backup power - so if Loadshedding returns then people might want to access the WiFi?

You can use this:

start [RADIUSdesk]

Its Seffrikan and maybe the dev can setup an integration for the payments if you pay him.
