Set Up Your First Location in 5 Minutes

What You'll Need

Before you start, make sure you have:

• A ZuSpot account (sign up free)
• Access to your UniFi controller (Cloud Gateway, Dream Machine, or self-hosted)
• Your controller's URL and API key

Step 1: Create Your Organization

After logging in, go to Settings and create your organization. Enter your venue name and a URL slug (e.g., "grand-hotel" becomes grand-hotel.usezuspot.com).

Step 2: Add a Location

Navigate to Devices > Add Location. Enter:

• Location name: e.g., "Main Lobby"
• Controller URL: Your UniFi controller address (e.g., https://192.168.1.1:8443)
• API Key: Generate this from your UniFi controller settings
• Site ID: Usually "default" unless you have multiple sites

Click Test Connection to verify everything works.

Step 3: Configure Your Plans

Go to Plans and set up your WiFi plans. We recommend starting with three:

1. Quick Access — 1 hour, ₦200
2. Standard — 3 hours, ₦400 (mark as "Popular")
3. Full Day — 24 hours, ₦800

Step 4: Customize Your Branding

Head to Branding Studio and:

1. Pick a template that matches your venue type
2. Adjust colors and fonts
3. Add your logo
4. Set your welcome message

Step 5: Test It

Open your portal URL in a private browser window. You should see your branded portal with your plans. Try making a test payment to verify the full flow.

That's it! Your guests can now pay for WiFi access through your branded portal.
