What happens after the 3-day free trial?

Pick any plan and keep going. If you don't, your routers and customer-facing portal stay live, but admin features pause until you reactivate. Nothing is auto-charged — we ask before billing.

Which MikroTik routers are supported?

Anything running RouterOS v6.45+ with API access enabled. We've tested across the RB750, RB951, hAP, and CCR series.

What are the M-Pesa transaction fees?

Safaricom Daraja charges its standard transaction rate, billed directly to you by Safaricom. VunaFlow takes no cut of customer payments — your monthly subscription is the only thing you pay us.

Is customer payment data secure?

All Daraja API credentials are encrypted at rest. Customer phone numbers are stored only as long as needed to issue receipts and reconcile sessions. We never sell or share data with third parties.

Can I import existing voucher batches?

Yes. The Vouchers page supports CSV bulk-import for existing codes, and you can generate new print-ready batches from inside the dashboard.

Do you offer setup help?

Every plan includes guided onboarding documentation. Growth and Scale plans also include free router-config calls so we can walk you through your first hotspot setup live.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — cancel from the Billing page in one click. No long-term contracts, no early-termination fees.

VunaFlow

Hardware & Installation

You’ve got two ways to get set up. Pick whichever fits your time, budget, and comfort with networking.

Whichever option you pick, you’ll need: internet from your provider (anything that gives Ethernet out) and your Safaricom till number (the one customer payments go to).

Option 1

Buy & install yourself

Purchase the MikroTik gateway, Wi-Fi access points, network distributor, and cables yourself from local suppliers. Then install and configure it on your own.

You’ll need:

A laptop with WinBox installed (free from mikrotik.com)
30 minutes of your time for first-time setup
Basic comfort following step-by-step instructions

Or hire us only for the remote configuration — get in touch for a quote.

Option 2

Full setup by us

We buy the hardware, configure the network, install VunaFlow, and hand it over working. You just plug in customers.

Installation feeKES 1,000

Includes:

Device configuration
VunaFlow hotspot setup
M-Pesa integration
Customer login portal
Basic testing & optimisation

Hardware billed at supplier cost on top of the installation fee.

Pricing

Low one-time setup, then a simple monthly dashboard fee. No hidden charges, no licensing fees, no yearly renewals.

Common questions

What happens after the 3-day free trial?: Your hotspot keeps running for customers. Your admin dashboard pauses until you activate the KES 500/month plan. Nothing is auto-charged — we ask before billing.
Can I buy the hardware myself?: Yes — that’s Option 1 on the previous page. You skip the KES 1,000 installation fee, pay only the monthly dashboard fee, and we’ll send you the step-by-step setup guide.
Which MikroTik routers are supported?: Anything running RouterOS v6.45+ with API access enabled. We’ve tested across RB750, RB951, hAP, and CCR series. On RouterOS 7 you’ll need to switch out of device-mode before the API will accept us.
Do you offer setup help?: Yes. Option 2 (KES 1,000) is a full done-for-you install. Option 1 includes written setup documentation, and you can hire us for remote configuration if you get stuck.
