Hi @Toxic-tim 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Omada Controller supports external web pages as authentication. You can combine the SMS and payment at the same time to get your customer paid for the Internet.

About your payment-based authentication, give details on what you expect us to do. Be specific.

Note it is not possible for us to create a payment way to transfer the credit into your bank account. We will not join this part of the action. We don't intend to create a slot machine or anything like that.

The portal offers a connection to a different page where you can host all of these. It is clear that we can offer ways to use a portal connected to your web or anything else to get them authenticated, but not gonna involved in monetary-related actions.

Your response is excellent. I am wanting to do the same thing as Ubiquiti currently offers users to buy access plans (ex. 24hr access, 4-Day Access, etc.) and get authorized to use the WiFi hotspot for their selected duration. While payment is involved with this, Ubiquiti (like you stated that TP-Link doesn't want to) doesn't process the payments at all. They have about 20+ payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal that you can link your account to and that service will handle the payments and through the API link then gives the okay to the controller to allow that person access for what they had paid for.

That's still not accessed by UBNT. It is still using external.

Unless you can show me something showing the background activities are going to the UBNT.

They just open a way to allow you link third-party payment and verify the payment return value. They don't actually involve in the payment process. They only receive the binary digit or code to learn the payment status.

My point is that we are not gonna add the "payment method" but allow you to do this with external URL.

I am happy to learn if you can provide me a link of how UBNT set this up. So I can learn if their "portal method" in doing this "payment portal thing."
