Change what guests read, and where they land
- Welcome message: shown before guests connect. Change it in step 5.
- Success page URL: the page guests land on once online. Each venue has its own.
- Once online, a returning guest sees Welcome back with their first name. This line is fixed.
- The terms guests accept are Stampede's standard Wi-Fi terms, the same at every venue. They cannot be changed.
- Logo, colours and background are in the brand kit. See brand your Wi-Fi login page.
Turn sign-in options on or off
- In Captive Portal Settings, with your venue chosen, find Authentication.
- Switch Apple Sign In on or off. If guests who use it do not get online, switch it off.
- Under Post-authentication, switch Email validation on or off. With it on, guests see Validation will be sent on login under the email field: the check comes by email after they log in, not before.
- Click Save changes.
Has the Email or Phone field disappeared from the page? Switch it back on under Guest details, then save.
Check it worked
On your own phone, the guest Wi-Fi login page shows your fields and welcome message.
Good to know
- Paid hides guest details, custom questions and sign-in options, as paid portals collect only an email. See charge guests for Wi-Fi.
- For marketing consent, see what guest data your Wi-Fi collects.
- SMS verification only works when Phone is on.
- There is no Facebook or Instagram sign-in on the login page.
- Only Admin, Moderator, Marketing, Reports and IT can see Wi-Fi.
