Create your accountEverything about running a WiFi business
How do I start selling WiFi in Uganda, Kenya or the rest of East Africa?
Connect a router you already own to Shabaka, create your prepaid plans, and share your hotspot. Guests buy access straight from your branded WiFi login page using mobile money, or redeem printed voucher codes. Most operators go from sign-up to their first sale in about 10 minutes — no networking degree required.
How do guests pay — MTN MoMo, Airtel Money or M-Pesa?
All three. Shabaka supports MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money and M-Pesa checkout directly on the captive portal. Payments are confirmed automatically by the operator's webhook and internet access is released the moment the payment lands — no manual reconciliation.
Which routers work with Shabaka?
Shabaka runs on the routers you already have, with first-class support for MikroTik hotspot billing. UniFi, TP-Link, Ruijie, Cisco, Huawei, Aruba, Netgear, Cambium, Mimosa, Grandstream and Teltonika hardware can also front a Shabaka-powered network. Routers connect to the platform through encrypted WireGuard tunnels that provision themselves.
What is a captive portal and how do WiFi vouchers work?
A captive portal is the branded page guests see when they join your WiFi — it's where they buy a plan or type a voucher code. Vouchers are prepaid access codes you generate in bulk and print as QR sheets (A4, thermal or table layouts); a guest scans or types the code and is online instantly, for exactly the time, speed and data you defined.
How much does Shabaka cost?
There are no setup fees and no monthly minimums. Shabaka takes a small, transparent commission on each sale you make — tunnels, RADIUS authentication, payments and analytics are all included. If you don't sell, you don't pay.
Do I need networking experience to run a WiFi business?
No. The guided setup wizard configures your router for you, secure tunnels are provisioned automatically, and the dashboard shows your routers, sessions and revenue in plain language. If you can run a shop, you can run a Shabaka hotspot.
