User Experience: Paying for Network Access using a Credit Card (Pro)
What a customer sees when paying for network access using a credit card processed by PayPal Website Payments Pro. Using this method, customers pay through the captive portal without being redirected to PayPal.
Purchasing Wi-Fi access using a credit card.
New customers click "Buy a Plan" to do just that.
Choosing an access plan.
Customer choose an access plan from the list that you created in the PayPal authentication system applied to the captive portal. You can set prices and time limits however you like; Sputnik does not take a cut of your revenues.
Selecting credit card payment with automatic login.
Customers can skip username/password login by checking the box next to "Automatically recognize my computer or wireless card". As long as there is time remaining on the plan that they purchase, they will be logged in automatically, and won't see a captive portal.
If you don't want this option to appear, from the "Edit Settings" page of the PayPal authentication system in SputnikNet, check "Disable MAC Authentication".
Selecting credit card payment with standard captive portal login.
Customers enter their desired login ID (username) and password. They select "Credit Card" and click "Continue".
Providing billing information.
Customers complete a standard credit card billing form, and click "Submit Order".
Payment confirmation.
Customers will briefly see a payment confirmation screen before being redirected to a welcome screen.
Login confirmation.
Customers will briefly see a login confirmation screen before being redirected to their home page, or the site they originally attempted to go to.
Future logins.
As long as there is time remaining on their account, they will be able to log in with their username and password (if they selected "Automatic login" they'll skip this page).
