All Meraki Pro administrators now have additional configuration options for free access in tiered access networks. Previously the only option available was to enable or disable 20 minutes of free access for un-paid or un-registered users. Now you can set the free access period to be any length of time, or a full day.

To configure free access time and bandwidth limits, log in to your Meraki Dashboard and click on the configure tab.

We’re excited to announce two improvements to the Meraki Billing system: PayPal Payout and Additional Currencies. These features are currently in beta testing, and we’d like to invite you to try them and let us know what you think.

PayPal Payout

Meraki Billing now supports electronic payout via PayPal. You can enable PayPal payout by logging into Dashboard and going to Configure -> Billing Payout. We hope this will make it even easier for you to receive your payments.

Note that PayPal is available for the payment from Meraki to you, not for charging end users.

Additional Currencies

We are also testing support for additional billing currencies. This means you can now charge your end users for network access in one of several supported currencies and receive payment in that same currency via PayPal. We currently support the Euro, British Pound, and Canadian Dollar.

You can select your currency in Configure -> Basic. If you’ve ever had a billing transactions in your network, you’ll need to create a new network to switch currencies. See the international currency transition knowledge base article for details.
