Questions businesses ask us

What is WiFi marketing software?
WiFi marketing software turns the guest WiFi at your property or business into a marketing channel. When a customer connects, a branded captive portal (splash page) collects their email in exchange for internet access. The software stores those contacts in a CRM and lets you run automated email campaigns — promotions, loyalty offers, and re-booking reminders — to drive repeat visits and revenue.
How does a captive portal capture emails?
A captive portal intercepts a device when it joins your guest WiFi and redirects it to a sign-in page before granting internet access. On that page, customers enter their name and email (with marketing consent). Once submitted, they're authorized online and their contact is saved to your database. It's the same mechanism you've seen at airports and hotels — but branded as your business.
Does this WiFi marketing platform need special hardware?
You need a standard WiFi access point — an off-the-shelf device that works alongside your existing router and internet. There's no proprietary appliance to buy and no on-site controller required, and our team sets the access point up for you free. We can also ship one pre-configured so you just plug it in.
What kind of businesses use WiFi marketing software?
Any business with guest WiFi: vacation rentals, cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels, gyms, salons, co-working spaces, and retail. If customers connect to your WiFi, you can capture their email and market to them. Vacation rental hosts use it to drive direct re-bookings; hospitality and retail use it for promotions and loyalty.
Is WiFi email capture GDPR and CAN-SPAM compliant?
Yes, when done with consent. Every splash page includes a configurable consent checkbox and records the consent text, timestamp, and IP address. Email campaigns include one-click unsubscribe. You control what fields are required and what permission customers agree to, which keeps your marketing aligned with GDPR and CAN-SPAM.
How much does WiFi marketing software cost?
DirectBookings is $15/month per access point with all features included — captive portal, email capture, campaigns, and CRM. There are no tiers and no proprietary hardware to buy, which makes the total cost lower than platforms that require their own access points. Cancel anytime.
