We recently launched a significant feature that enables you to create custom fields and display them on a splash page. This enhancement allows you to collect specific information from your customers beyond the default fields like name, email, and phone number.
With this functionality, you can customize the customer onboarding process to meet your business needs, ensuring you gather all necessary details before granting access.

We are excited to introduce our latest product update, which includes new features:
We are introducing a new connection type: OpenVPN. OpenVPN allows you to connect your hotspots with Powerlynx as an alternative to Wireguard. This option is only available for advanced setup. Please refer to the documentation for more information.
You can now create an administrator account in Powerlynx with read-only permissions.
The โVouchers Exportโ report now includes networking data that identifies the activation hotspot, along with the MAC address, IP address, port, and NAS identifier received from the hotspot during voucher activation. This information will help you understand which hotspot the voucher was activated on, as well as its IP address and other networking parameters.
In the payment gateway settings, you can modify the display name that appears on the splash page. For example, you can change the โPay by Stripeโ button to โPay by credit cardโ:

We are happy to announce the release of a highly requested feature that enables you to customize the UI for splash pages. Explore various options for colors, opacity, backgrounds, and more. Check out the examples here!
Submit your feedback here so we can identify what needs to be modified, added, or improved.
You can now invite other companies to join Powerlynx and earn a bonus! When you invite a new client to Powerlynx and remain active for the next 60 days (Your referee must be active in Powerlynx billing within 60 days to qualify for a bonus), you'll receive a $100 USD bonus credited to your account. Additionally, the person you invited will also receive a $100 bonus.
If you are a Powerlynx client, open your billing portal. On the dashboard, you will see the โCopy invite linkโ button. Copy the link and share it with someone.

Here are the key features of our latest product update:
A new report lets you see which customers were activated at a specific location during a chosen timeframe.
Example: You might export all customers (and their details) who purchased a voucher at Location #1, the Restaurant. This information can then be used to create personalized email campaigns targeting those customers.
We have added a new filter for ads to display them per plan. For instance, it allows showing ads only for free plans in location 1:
You asked - we delivered. Weโve included network data in the payment export, such as the MAC address, IP address, port, and NAS identifier of the first session on a newly purchased voucher. This helps identify which location and network devices the voucher was purchased on, enabling you to filter your income per router.

Here are the key features of our latest product update:
We have developed a direct integration with the SMS gateway, SMSPortal. You can now connect your SMSPortal account to Powerlynx and send SMS messages. Documentation is available here.
We removed the ability to delete data plans and instead disable them. Deleting data plans could lead to authorization issues when the voucher is active but the data plan has been deleted.
We have replaced the โDelete Planโ button with a โDisable Planโ button. Additionally, we have introduced a filter for plans based on their status: Active and Disabled. Disabled plans will not be available for use on a splash page, and you will be unable to generate a voucher series using these data plans.
In the plan filters throughout the system, you will still be able to view disabled plans; however, they will be indicated as disabled at the bottom of the list.
We have implemented SSID validation to ensure that each value is unique. When you add a new SSID for a location, the system will display a warning if the SSID is already in use elsewhere. This improvement will enhance the systemโs ability to detect locations more accurately and minimize the risk of human error.

Our latest product update is here, and weโre excited to introduce some fantastic new features. Here are the highlights:
We have simplified the hotspot add form, making it much easier to add Mikrotik hotspots than before. Powerlynx will generate a script for your Mikrotik, and all you need to do is open the Terminal on your Mikrotik router and insert the script. For more details, please follow this link.
We will assess the popularity of this feature and consider implementing similar ones for other vendors.
A new dashboard graph displays customer traffic consumption, with filters for hotspot, location, and period:
We have enhanced the data plan settings to allow for expiration in hours and minutes, in addition to days. This means you can now offer customers data plans that expire in 2 days, hours, or minutes after activation.
A new column titled "Online Customers" is now available in the list of hotspots for a selected location, displaying the number of customers connected to each hotspot:
We have developed an integration with Ruckus devices. You can now connect your Ruckus devices to Powerlynx using this manual.
