How the US pays
- Cards
- Captive portal checkout
- Vouchers
- Front-desk codes
The software is usually the reason this does not get built
Charging guests for WiFi in the US is rarely a hardware problem. The access points are already installed and the uplink is already paid for. What stops a park, marina or building from billing for it is that the platforms built to do so are sold on annual contracts with per-door minimums, priced for a chain rather than for one property with ninety sites.
XenFi charges a share of what you actually sell. If the season is quiet you owe nothing, and if it is busy the cost scales with the revenue rather than with the number of doors you installed.
Guests pay by card through a captive portal and are online in seconds, with no app to download and nobody at a front desk handing out codes. Plans carry their own speed, data cap and expiry, so a nightly rate stops at the end of the night.

Questions operators ask
How much does XenFi cost in the United States?
3% of every sale, with no monthly fee, no setup fee and no per-door minimum. Card processing is billed separately by your payment processor at its own rate.
Do I need to buy new hardware?
No. XenFi runs on MikroTik, UniFi, Omada, Ruijie and any RADIUS-capable equipment, so existing access points and gateways keep working.
Is this suitable for an RV park or campground?
Yes. Nightly, weekly and seasonal plans with their own speed limits and data caps are exactly the shape of RV park and campground billing, and there is nothing to pay in the off season.
Can I offer free basic WiFi and charge for faster speeds?
Yes. A free tier alongside paid premium tiers is a common setup and takes a few minutes to configure.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. Guests connect to the network, land on a captive portal, pay by card and are online in seconds.
Can I stop one guest saturating the connection?
Yes. Each plan carries its own bandwidth limit and data cap, enforced by the platform, which is usually the main reason a property starts charging in the first place.
