How South Africa pays
- Cards
- Instant EFT
- Vouchers
- Agent cash
The prepaid country deserves prepaid-grade billing
South Africa buys airtime, electricity and data the same way: prepaid, in small amounts, often for cash. XenFi is built for exactly that trade. Card and instant EFT payments activate sessions on their own, and printed voucher batches carry the spaza-shop side of the business.
Prepaid also means the mechanics have to be exact. A bundle that quietly runs past what somebody paid for is a margin leak in a market where the margins are thin by design, so caps and expiry are enforced by the platform rather than by goodwill.
For WISPs and complex networks, PPPoE subscribers run beside the hotspot trade with caps, speeds and expiry in rand, while the dashboard watches every router and every sale.

Questions operators ask
How much does XenFi cost in South Africa?
3% of every sale, with no monthly fee and no setup fee. The rate is the same on card and EFT payments, printed vouchers and agent sales.
Can I sell vouchers through spaza shops?
Yes. Printed QR voucher batches are designed for exactly that, and every voucher is traceable back to the shop or agent that sold it.
Is this suitable for a WISP?
Yes. PPPoE subscribers with speeds, data caps and expiry run beside the hotspot trade, and revenue is broken out per site, plan and reseller.
Will it work with my existing MikroTik or UniFi gear?
Yes. MikroTik, UniFi, Omada and Ruijie are supported directly, and any RADIUS-capable router can connect to the cloud core.
Can I stop customers running past their bundle?
Yes. Data caps and expiry are enforced by the platform, which is what keeps a prepaid model from leaking margin.
Do customers need an app?
No. They buy through a captive portal or use a voucher, and the session starts as soon as the payment or code is accepted.
