Your family's internet stays protected

  • You choose how much of your line neighbours may use (50% unless you change it). Your family keeps the rest.
  • Your family's phones can be added as always free.
  • Neighbours on Shopika WiFi reach the internet only, never your home router or your devices.

How it works

  1. 1Sign up here

    Two minutes on your phone. Your account opens at once.

  2. 2Get a MikroTik router

    A small router just for your neighbours, such as the hAP ax lite, from any MikroTik shop.

  3. 3Connect it

    One cable from your home router, then paste one line we give you. About 10 minutes, no technician.

  4. 4Neighbours pay, you earn

    They join "Shopika WiFi" and pay by M-Pesa. Your share builds up and you withdraw to M-Pesa.

What could you earn?

Example only: you choose the numbers

The price starts at our cheapest one-day package today.

In 30 days you would get

KES 1,440

That is your 80% share of every sale; Shopika keeps the rest. You keep paying your own internet bill.

This is not a promise. Real earnings depend on how many neighbours buy, and how often.

Before you start: is reselling allowed on your plan? Some home internet plans do not allow sharing or reselling the connection. Check your provider's terms. Once you earn about KES 10,000 a month, move to a business line; we will help you choose one.

Questions

Do I need to know about computers?

No. You plug one cable into your home router and paste one line we give you. Your dashboard shows each step.

Will my internet become slow?

Neighbours share only the part of your line you allow (50% unless you change it). You can lower it any time from your phone.

Who pays for the internet?

You keep paying your provider as usual. Your share of the sales is yours to keep.

How do I get my money?

Your share collects in your Shopika WiFi wallet. You withdraw it to M-Pesa.

Can my neighbours see my phones or my router?

No. Shopika WiFi keeps them on the internet only, away from your home network.

What if the power or my internet goes off?

Shopika WiFi stops while there is no power or internet, and starts again by itself when they are back.

Can I stop?

Yes. Unplug the MikroTik whenever you like. Your earnings stay in your wallet.
