What is a Demo Page?

Demo page is a feature in Spotipo that allows you to test changes made to your configuration of a splash page, without the need for actually connecting to the network of the site that you're configuring.

It acts exactly like the captive portal pop-up will act once it is implemented on your router/controller.

How to use Demo page?

Using a demo page is really simple. After making changes in the splash page section, simply press the demo button in the top right corner to test out those changes.

From there, a new browser tab will pop-up, presenting you with the full functionality of your captive portal login page.

To test things out, simply click one of the options that you've set up in your login page. In this case, we will use email.

Since demo page is fully functional, the data that you've entered into the demo page should also be visible under Guests tab. This is a way to ensure that the data is stored correctly.

Testing Payment options in Demo Page

When using a demo page, it is also possible to test the payment options. Payment options will function the same as in regular login pop-up windows.

NOTE:

When using payment options, any transaction that you authorize during testing will be successfully charged, meaning that you will actually pay for the service you selected, even though this is a demo page. Make sure to refund your money after you're finished testing things out.

After you've tested the payment option, selected package information should be visible under Accounts tab.

To refund the transaction you've tested things out with, go to the Transactions tab and select Refund option for the package that you want refunded.
