A Practical Guide for MAC Address recognition, after a payment has been made, skipping the registration
How to:
- 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.
- After the first registration and purchase, log in automatically
- If afterwards the user connects to the WiFi, he should not be returned to the Welcome Portal but surf directly
- 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)
- After purchasing the recharge, perform the automatic login
