01
Confirm HTTPS management
WinBox → IP → Services
Enable www-ssl, select a valid certificate and confirm the port (typically 443). The billing server must reach the secure address. Do not append /rest.
02
Create an integration group
System → Users → Groups
Create a dedicated group such as isp-billing. For RouterOS v7 REST integration, include only necessary permissions, including read, write and rest-api as applicable. Do not copy sensitive permissions from the example blindly.
03
Create the API account
System → Users → Users
Create a separate account named ispbilling, assign the integration group, use a strong unique password and restrict permitted source addresses. Do not reuse admin.
04
Identify the Hotspot server
IP → Hotspot → Servers
If you provide hotspot service, copy the exact server Name, such as hotspot1. Do not confuse this with the address pool or profile.
05
Identify the PPPoE pool
IP → Pool
If you provide PPPoE service, copy the actual pool name. Confirm the pool is used by your PPPoE service; do not create a duplicate.
06
Complete the router form
Online Solutions → Routers → Add MikroTik router
Enter the router label, HTTPS management URL, dedicated username and password. Add your actual Hotspot and PPPoE details as applicable. Leave provisioning disabled until tested.
07
Test before enabling sales
Online Solutions → Routers
Save the router, verify TLS connectivity and authentication, then test provisioning with a non-production subscriber. Enable sales only after renewal and expiry tests pass.
