WISPGate Customer Portal

Secure Self-Service. Full Transparency. Zero Dependency on Manual Support.

The WISPGate Customer Portal is a comprehensive self-service platform that allows subscribers β€” whether residential, enterprise, or MDU-based β€” to manage their services, billing, wallet, payments, and support interactions independently.
It is tightly integrated with Billing, CRM, AAA, OSS, and Payment Gateways, while maintaining PCI compliance through external payment processors.

The portal is not isolated β€” it directly reflects real-time data from the core system.

Subscriber Visibility Model (MDU-Ready)

WISPGate supports a multi-service structure where:

  • 1 Subscriber
  • Multiple Sub-Services
  • Each Sub-Service may include:
    • Main Service (Internet / IPTV / VoIP)
    • Add-ons
    • CPE devices
    • Installments

       └── Sub-Service C (VoIP – Office)
                    
    This ensures complete transparency across multi-unit or multi-service customers.

  • Multiple offices
  • Multiple branches
  • Mixed services (Internet + IPTV + VoIP)

The portal provides:

  • Aggregated financial view
  • Per-sub-service breakdown
  • Consolidated invoice visibility
  • Unified wallet control

Security Model

Security measures include:

  • Role-based portal access
  • Encrypted communication (HTTPS)
  • Payment tokenization
  • PCI compliance via gateways
  • Access logs
  • Session control
Sensitive financial data is never stored within the core platform.

  • Sees Internet and IPTV services.
  • Notices invoice due.
  • Pays invoice online.

All actions happen without calling support.

Example: Enterprise Customer

  • Downloads consolidated invoice.
  • Wallet has credit from previous overpayment.
