Captive portal software for venues
A captive portal is the page people see when they join your WiFi, just before they're let online. CaptiFi is captive portal software (sometimes called internet portal software) for restaurants, pubs, cafes, hotels and gyms, and it runs on the UniFi, TP-Link Omada, Aruba or Cisco Meraki access points you've already got. Guests sign in on your own branded page. Marketing consent is asked as a question of its own, and every guest who says yes becomes a contact you can follow up with emails and Google review requests.
What is captive portal software?
Un portal cautivo es una página web que los usuarios públicos de WiFi ven antes de recibir acceso a internet, normalmente utilizada para autenticar usuarios, aceptar condiciones y capturar datos como el correo electrónico o la identidad de acceso social.
CaptiFi delivers the captive portal as managed software: you connect your existing access points (or use the included plug-and-play device, refundable deposit), design a branded splash page in the built-in builder, and every guest login captures the guest's contact details, with their marketing answer and sign-in time recorded. See the full captive portal definition in our glossary, or read how a captive portal works step by step. Once guests are signed in, our WiFi marketing software sends the follow-ups to the ones who opted in. The list itself is covered on the guest WiFi marketing and data capture page, and if you're comparing social WiFi platforms, that page explains how guests sign in.

Captura de datos de invitados
Every guest connection captures a consented name and email address, building a first-party marketing list you own and can export at any time.

Automated Follow-Ups
Welcome emails, win-back offers and birthday messages trigger automatically from a single WiFi login. Set it once, it runs in the background.
Google Review Requests
Guests who opt in are asked to rate their visit, at most once every 90 days per venue, and a good rating sends them on to your Google review page.

Captive Portal Software FAQs
Captive portal software controls the sign-in page guests see before they get internet access on your WiFi. It authenticates the guest, records marketing consent, and captures contact details such as an email address. CaptiFi adds branded splash pages, GDPR consent records and automated follow-up marketing on top of that basic mechanism.
Yes. CaptiFi runs as an external captive portal on all four ecosystems, plus MikroTik, Ruckus, Fortinet and DrayTek. You point your controller at the CaptiFi splash URL and your access points keep running the network exactly as before.
No. CaptiFi works with most existing business-grade access points. If you do not have compatible hardware, a pre-configured plug-and-play device is included with every plan, with a small refundable deposit charged to your card and refunded when you return the hardware.
Yes. The built-in splash page builder lets you create and update branded sign-in pages whenever you like: your logo, colours, offers and consent text, with no coding required.
CaptiFi is built to support compliance, whichever access points you run: marketing consent is asked separately at login and every answer is recorded, every marketing email carries an unsubscribe link, and Delete (GDPR) and Anonymise (GDPR) handle erasure requests. Your venue stays the data controller.
The captive portal is the mechanism: the sign-in page that authenticates guests and captures their details. WiFi marketing is what you do with that data afterwards: automated emails, Google review requests and win-back offers. CaptiFi includes both in one platform, so you never need to bolt a marketing tool onto a separate portal.
No. The portal only handles the sign-in page. Once a guest is through, their traffic runs straight over your existing network at full speed on every supported vendor.
Go deeper on guest WiFi
The captive portal handles the sign-in. What happens to the data afterwards is on the WiFi marketing platform page, and guest WiFi marketing covers how the list builds up. You can also check the hardware compatibility matrix, or see how CaptiFi stacks up against other platforms on the comparison hub.
