A Practical Guide for MAC Address recognition, after a payment has been made, skipping the registration

How to:

  1. Let the unregistered users, access the Welcome Portal and give them the opportunity to purchase a product through a Payment Gateway or a Voucher by automatically skipping the registration, without having to press the “register” button.
  2. After the first registration and purchase, log in automatically
  3. If afterwards the user connects to the WiFi, he should not be returned to the Welcome Portal but surf directly
  4. If the customer has expired or ran out of time/traffic, send him back to the Welcome Portal, automatically recognizing him and passing him to the recharging (purchase of a new product)
  5. After purchasing the recharge, perform the automatic login
