Guest WiFi Billing
for Hostels and ISPs
WiFiFlow is guest WiFi billing for Nigerian hostels, ISPs, and cafés. Guests pay with Paystack, Monnify, OPay, PalmPay, or Flutterwave, then verify on WhatsApp. For TP-Link EAPs, WiFiFlow hosts the Omada controller.
What operators actually use

| UniFi | You | Businesses that already run UniFi |
