    Hotspot vouchers that sell themselves

    Codes that buy internet time. Sent by SMS when someone pays, printed by the hundred for cash customers, or handed to a shop that sells them for you — and they expire without you doing anything.

    Three ways a code reaches a customer

    Sent on payment

    A customer pays at the login page and the code arrives by SMS. Nobody hands them anything and nobody has to be awake.

    Printed in bulk

    Generate a batch, print them, and sell them over a counter. The standard answer for customers paying cash.

    Sold through a shop

    Give a batch to a kiosk or agent who sells on your behalf. You see which codes were used and when.

    Why operators keep printing them

    A printed code is the only thing that still sells when a customer’s M-Pesa is empty, when they would rather pay cash, or when Safaricom’s API is having a bad afternoon. Most sites run codes and mobile money side by side for exactly that reason.

    What a code does once it is out there

    They expire on their own

    A code carries its own duration. When the time is up the session ends and the login page comes back — you are not closing anything by hand.

    One code, one customer

    A used code cannot be passed around and reused. Optional sharing limits stop one code appearing on a whole hostel at once.

    You can see what sold

    Which batch, which site, which day, and how many of a printed run were never redeemed — usually the more useful number.

    The whole service: login pages, M-Pesa, packages and cut-off.

    Common questions

    What is a hotspot voucher?
    A code that buys a set amount of internet time on your Wi-Fi. The customer connects, enters the code on your login page, and is online for as long as the code is worth — an hour, a day, a week. When it runs out, access stops and the login page comes back.
    Do I need vouchers if customers can pay by M-Pesa?
    Most hotspots end up using both. M-Pesa at the login page suits anyone with money on their phone; vouchers cover the customer paying cash, the one whose M-Pesa is empty, and the shop down the road selling on your behalf. Vouchers also work when Safaricom's API is having a bad day.
    Can I print vouchers?
    Yes. Generate a batch of the size and duration you want, then print them to hand out or sell over a counter. Each code works once.
    What stops people sharing a code?
    A redeemed code is tied to the session that used it, so passing it on does not give someone a second one. If sharing across devices is a problem at your site — a common one in hostels — there is an optional limit that stops a single code being used on several devices at once.
    What happens to codes nobody uses?
    Nothing, and that is worth tracking. Unredeemed codes in a printed batch tell you the run was too big or the price was wrong, which is usually a more useful signal than the ones that sold.
    What do vouchers cost?
    Nothing extra. Hotspot billing is 3% of hotspot revenue with a KSh 1,000 monthly minimum across the account, whether that revenue arrives by M-Pesa at the login page or through codes you printed. There is no per-voucher or per-batch charge.
