Where every point of margin has to survive the process
In a market this size, the difference between a hotspot that works and one that does not is rarely the hardware. It is whether the operator spends their evenings reading payment messages, issuing codes and arguing about who sold what. That work does not scale, and it quietly eats the margin the bundles were priced for.
XenFi removes it. A customer buys a bundle, pays from their phone, and their session opens on its own. Printed vouchers carry the part of the trade that still moves in cash, and every voucher is traceable to whoever sold it.
Plans are priced in Burundian francs with the speed, cap and expiry you choose, hotspot and PPPoE run from the same dashboard, and routers in other provinces can be watched without getting on the road.

3% of every sale
What XenFi costs in Burundi
3% of a sale. No monthly fee, no setup fee, and nothing owed when nothing sells.
The rate is the same on mobile money, printed vouchers and agent app sales, which matters in a market where a large share of trade is still cash.

Questions operators ask
How much does XenFi cost in Burundi?
3% of every sale, with no monthly fee and no setup fee. Mobile money, printed vouchers and agent sales are charged at the same rate.
Can I sell to customers who pay cash?
Yes. Printed voucher batches with QR codes are made for exactly that, and every voucher is traceable to the kiosk or agent who sold it.
Which routers work with XenFi?
MikroTik, UniFi, Omada and Ruijie are supported directly, and any RADIUS-capable router can connect through the cloud core.
Can I manage routers in other provinces remotely?
Yes. Routers report into the dashboard and a site that stops selling is flagged, so travel becomes a decision rather than a routine.
Do I need a developer to set this up?
No. There is nothing to integrate. You create an account, paste one set of settings into your router, and price your bundles.
Can I bill monthly clients as well as hotspot users?
Yes. PPPoE subscriptions with speeds, caps and expiry dates run beside the hotspot trade in the same account.
