How Somalia pays
- Mobile wallets
- Cards
- Printed vouchers
- Agent app
A market that solved payments before most of the world tried
Somalis have been paying for daily life by phone longer than most markets have had smartphones, and the expectation that follows is simple: if you paid, it works. A hotspot that needs a human to hand over a code after the money has landed feels a decade out of date here.
XenFi opens a session the moment payment confirms. There is nothing to type back, nothing to reconcile at the end of the day, and nothing standing between a customer's payment and the internet they bought.
Bundles can be priced in the currency your market actually quotes in, hotspot and PPPoE run from one account, and every router reports into a single dashboard with usage, revenue and health in one place.
Payments moved on. Billing should too

Questions operators ask
How much does XenFi cost in Somalia?
3% of every sale, with no monthly fee and no setup fee. The rate is the same across mobile money, printed vouchers and agent app sales.
Can I price my bundles in dollars?
Yes. Bundles can be priced in the currency your market quotes in, which for most Somali operators is US dollars.
How quickly does a customer get online after paying?
Seconds. Payment confirmation opens the session automatically, so no one has to hand over a code after the money has landed.
Which routers work with XenFi?
MikroTik, UniFi, Omada and Ruijie are supported directly, and any RADIUS-capable router can join through the cloud core.
Can I bill apartments and offices monthly?
Yes. PPPoE subscriptions with speeds, caps and expiry run beside the hotspot trade, with renewals collected automatically.
Do I need a developer to set it up?
No. There is nothing to integrate. Create an account, paste one set of settings into your router, and price your plans.
