For that you need to buy a special router. Here in the UK they are supplied by a great company called Solwise, but no doubt you can find similar kit locally.

Here is a link to the kit they sell - which prints out a full bill, and a passcode for the visitor, which would allow them access to your WiFi network.

http://www.solwise.co.uk/wireless-hotspot.htm

A simple, single point, hotspot doesn't require a RADIUS server - that is useful only where customers get credits and move from shop to shop, or location to location.

To become part of a community of WiFi providers you can get kit from a specialist WiFi service provider, (such as The Cloud in the UK) but they don't fully recompense you for useage - with the kit above you can charge whatever you like - with a service you get the kit pre-configured to access a RADIUS server, but you only get a very small percentage of the customers fee.

If you have a chain of shops, you might want to consider RADIUS to create your own community, and in that case, these devices are fully compatible, but you would need to provide a central RADIUS server - fully configured - yourself. The various shop's routers will use the Internet as a transport mechanism to talk to the server, which can obviously be located in head office, or one of the shops.

I hope this has helped you - if you want to integrate it into your ARPOS service, then you only need to make a sale of a ticket - as a separate item - then simply press the relevant button on the little printer provided with the router.
