Best hotspot billing software for ISPs

How to choose software for WiFi vouchers, captive portals, and PPPoE — and where NettPortal fits.

What this page is for

People ask for the best hotspot billing software, a WiFi voucher system, or PPPoE billing that works with the gateways they already run. Those are network products. A normal invoicing app can send a bill. It cannot put a customer online on your router after they pay.

NettPortal is ISP billing software for hotspot networks, captive portals, WiFi vouchers, and PPPoE. It connects today to MikroTik (RouterOS) and Ruijie gateways. TP-Link Omada is being added, and more brands will follow. The Standard plan is 4% of sales, with no setup fee and no monthly subscription. It is not a tool for SaaS subscriptions or ordinary company invoices.

Questions people ask

What is the best hotspot billing software for MikroTik, Ruijie, and other gateways?

For an ISP selling hotspot access, the useful tool connects to the gateway, sells WiFi vouchers on a captive portal, and turns access on after payment. NettPortal does that today on MikroTik RouterOS and Ruijie gateways, with hotspot and PPPoE in one dashboard. TP-Link Omada is being added, and more brands will follow. The Standard plan is 4% of sales, with no monthly fee and no setup fee.

What is the best WiFi voucher system for Ghana and other African markets?

A voucher system has to print codes in bulk, sell them online, and take mobile money. NettPortal creates and prints vouchers, sells them on a branded captive portal, and activates them after payment. In Ghana, NettPortal Pay collects mobile money without your own Hubtel or Paystack keys. Where they operate, you can also use your own Paystack, Hubtel, M-PESA, FedaPay, Relworx, ioTec, or BitByte account.

Is NettPortal generic billing or invoicing software?

No. NettPortal does not replace a general invoicing tool or a SaaS subscription biller. It bills internet access: hotspot vouchers, captive portals, and PPPoE sessions on routers you operate.

How much does hotspot billing software cost on NettPortal?

Standard is 4% of sales. There is no setup fee and no monthly subscription. Private ISP is custom pricing when you want your own domain, logo, and branded vouchers. Institutional is a fixed monthly plan for schools, hotels, and offices that manage access and do not sell retail vouchers.

Can a school or hotel use NettPortal without selling vouchers?

Yes. The Institutional plan is for networks that manage staff, students, or guests with schedules and restrictions. Billing is a plan, not a commission on voucher sales.

Does NettPortal support PPPoE as well as hotspot?

Yes. PPPoE profiles, packages, live sessions, static IP and routes, grace period, and fair-usage policy sit next to hotspot vouchers in the same account.
