WiNet, in the time of a jingle
Three ideas, not one more: your customers pay on the portal, your balance grows, you withdraw to Mobile Money. The spot is in French — the ideas travel anyway.
The voucher
Your codes really do expire
A bundle you sell should stop when you said it would, and serve exactly the number of devices you decided — not one more. That is the difference between a zone that earns and a zone the whole street helps itself to.
The clock starts at first connection
"Valid 7 days" means seven days from the moment the customer actually uses the code, not from the moment they paid. When the time is up, access closes on its own.
You decide how many devices
When you create a bundle, you choose how many devices one code accepts. At 1 — the default — the code locks to the first phone; at 3 or 5 for a family or office bundle, the router itself refuses the extra connection.
The counter keeps its tool
WiNet codes are born from a portal payment — nothing to print in advance. For cash sales at the counter, expert mode opens Mikhmon, hosted by WiNet: those sales stay 100% yours, with no commission.
You already have the hardware
WiFi already up and running? Keep it.
Plenty of managers are not opening their first zone. They have been running one for months. The router is mounted, the signal reaches the back of the yard, customers know the network name. WiNet does not ask them to tear any of that down. It plugs into what is already there.
Your MikroTik router opens a secure tunnel to WiNet, and WiNet checks through that tunnel that the zone is answering. There is even a path where only the management layer gets installed: your Wi-Fi settings and your hotspot are left untouched, and you decide afterwards how far WiNet should go.
- You keep your hardware, your network name and the customers already connected to it.
- You keep your numbers: the bundles on the router are read back and adopted, and your past Mikhmon sales enter your history.
- You add a portal in your own colours, your bundles, Mobile Money collection and remote monitoring.
- You buy nothing new for as long as your kit does the job.
- Already running a hotspot and selling access? There is a whole page about that.
Every WiFi zone is run a little differently
A busy street corner, a hotel, a campus or a multi-site network need different bundles and see very different crowds. Pick the case closest to yours.
Neighbourhoods & retail
Call box, shop, internet café: short bundles, foot traffic all day, cash every evening.

Around the zone
One platform for managers — and for their customers
WiNet does not stop at getting paid. A zone gets found, talks to its customers, gets equipped and gets repaired — it is all already there.
Found on the public map
As soon as it goes live, your zone appears on the winetapp.org map, right where customers look for a WiFi spot near them — and you stay in charge of the display, up to opting out.
See the zone mapZone messaging
A customer has a question? They write to you straight from the zone's WiFi portal, with no account and nothing to install — and you answer from the Manager app.
The zone's portalGear, manager to manager
Routers, antennas, cables: post your listings and find your gear in the app's marketplace. The sale is concluded directly between managers, with no WiNet commission.
The listings spaceA technician when you need one
An install, a repair? A WiNet-vetted technician comes out and hands you a written report. The job is paid by debiting the zone's balance — never by a payment in the app.

Mobile Money
Your WiFi earnings, straight to your phone
No bank account, no waiting. WiNet turns your sales into a balance you can send to the mobile money service used in your country: M-Pesa in Kenya, Wave in Senegal, Airtel Money in Uganda, MTN Mobile Money or Orange Money in Cameroon. Cash out whenever you want, with nothing to pay upfront.

What WiNet changes next to how you work today
Plenty of managers track sales in a notebook, or already run their hotspot with Mikhmon. Here is, line by line, what changes — and what does not.
| Day to day | Notebook & hand-written codes | Mikhmon alone | With WiNet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Getting paid | Cash, hand to hand | Cash, hand to hand | Mobile Money and cards on the portal — and still cash at the counter |
| Selling while you are away | No | No | The portal sells 24/7, counter open or closed |
| Watching the zone | On site | From the local network | From anywhere, with an alert when the zone goes down |
| Sales history | By pen | On a single computer | Online, by zone and by bundle — your Mikhmon history carried over |
| Withdrawing your earnings | — | — | To your Mobile Money, in one tap |
| What it costs | Free | Free | Free — a single commission on portal sales only |
Nothing against the notebook, or Mikhmon
They do their job — which is exactly why WiNet imports your Mikhmon history when you attach the router instead of making you abandon it. What really changes is getting paid without being there, and running the zone from a distance.
Apps
WiNet, on the phone you already own
The Android app is on Google Play, and the web version opens in the browser, on Android and on iPhone alike. The iOS app comes next.
Web version
Available todayOpen app.winetapp.org in your phone browser, on Android or iPhone, and create your account. Nothing to install, nothing to update.
In Chrome or Safari, "Add to home screen" puts the WiNet icon next to your other apps.
Android
On Google PlayThe Android app is live on Google Play, free of charge, under the name “WiNet : Gérer une Wifi Zone”. You install it like any other app, and updates arrive on their own.
Your account, your zones and your balance are the same as in the web version, so you can switch between the two in the middle of a selling day without copying anything over.
iPhone & iPad
In progressThe iPhone project exists and rebuilds every time the code changes, but the app is neither on the App Store nor in public testing today. Publishing with Apple requires a developer account we have not opened yet. We will announce a date once we can hold to it, not before.
Until then, the web version runs in Safari on iPhone and iPad, with the same screens and the same account.

What to know before you start
How much does it cost?+
Creating an account is free. WiNet takes a commission on the sales made through the WiFi portal. You pay nothing upfront and there are no payments inside the app. Full details on the Pricing page.
How do my customers pay?+
Customers buy their access straight from the WiFi portal, using the payment methods available in their country: M-Pesa in Kenya, USSD and bank transfer in Nigeria, Airtel Money in Uganda, MTN Mobile Money and Orange Money in Cameroon, or by card. The full list is on the Countries served page. The money lands on your balance and you cash out whenever you like.
Can a customer share their code with the neighbours?+
Only if you decided so. The number of devices per code is a bundle setting: at 1 — the default — the code locks to the first phone; at 3 or 5 (family or office bundle), the router allows that many simultaneous connections, and not one more.
Do my bundles really expire?+
Yes. You can give a bundle a validity in days, counted from the customer's first connection rather than from the purchase. When it runs out, the router deletes the code, ends the session and stops the device reconnecting on its own. The router enforces this itself, so the rule holds even if the site has lost its internet connection. See the details on the WiFi portal page.
What hardware do I need?+
A compatible router (MikroTik) with an internet connection. The app walks you through the setup, on site or remotely. See the setup guide.
Can I run several zones?+
Yes. Run as many routers and zones as you want from a single account, each with its own bundles, sales and balance.
Is my data protected?+
Yes. Traffic is encrypted (HTTPS), your router credentials are encrypted at rest, and your data is never shared for advertising. You can delete your account at any time.
