Frequently asked questions
Getting started
What is Kawifi and how does it work?
Kawifi is an internet billing system for Wi-Fi hotspots. You buy a voucher or package and get a unique voucher code; enter it on the hotspot's login page to start browsing.
How do I connect to the Wi-Fi?
Turn on Wi-Fi and choose the hotspot's network. Open your browser and the login page opens by itself. Enter your voucher code and tap Login.
I can't see the login page. What should I do?
Check that you are on the right Wi-Fi network, then open any web address or type http://1.1.1.1 in your browser. If it still does not open, turn off any VPN or proxy, or try another browser.
Vouchers and payments
What is a voucher code and where do I get one?
A code that gives you internet for a set time. Buy one on the hotspot's purchase page with MTN MoMo or Airtel Money (the code appears on screen and comes by SMS), or in person from the hotspot owner or one of their agents.
What payment methods are accepted?
Mobile money: MTN MoMo and Airtel Money. Hotspot owners and their agents can also sell vouchers for cash.
I paid but didn't get my code. What do I do?
Check your SMS first. If it is not there, keep your mobile money confirmation and contact the hotspot owner with the order reference shown on the payment page.
My voucher isn't working. What could be wrong?
Check the code for typos, and whether it has expired or is already in use on another device. If it still fails, contact the hotspot owner.
Can I get a refund?
Paid vouchers are not refunded. If you paid and no code arrived, the hotspot owner can check the payment and give you your code.
Using your time
When does my time start, and can I pause it?
Time starts at your first login and keeps running even when you disconnect, so log in when you are ready to use it.
What happens when my time runs out?
You are disconnected. Buy a new voucher to continue.
How many devices can I connect at once?
It depends on the package: most daily and hourly vouchers are for one device, some packages allow more.
Why is my connection slow or dropping?
Many users online, distance from the router, busy hours or an older device can all slow things down. Move closer to the router or turn Wi-Fi off and on; if it continues, tell the hotspot owner.
For hotspot owners
How do I start?
Create an account with Google or email, name your business, add your MikroTik router and paste the setup script, then create your packages. Your purchase page is ready straight away.
How do I make vouchers to print?
Open Vouchers, choose New batch, pick the package and how many, then download the PDF cards to print.
Where does the money from online sales go?
Straight into your own mobile money business account. Kawifi takes no commission on your sales.
How do vouchers expire?
Each package has a validity time counted from the first login. When it ends, the customer is disconnected and the code stops working; there is nothing to clean up on the router.
Can agents sell for me?
Yes. Add resellers, give them a commission per package or their own percentage, and give them printed batches. Every sale is recorded so you can pay their commission.
Is my customers' information safe?
Kawifi keeps only what billing needs: phone numbers, purchases and data used. It does not record the websites people visit, and it does not share data with third parties.
