Pay for the bay from the bay

A driver pulls into bay 314 and just wants to pay and go. A code on the pillar shows the rate for that spot and takes the payment on the phone. No meter, no coins, no ticket to lose behind the visor.

  • Contactless pay with the bay number already in the code
  • Sessions extended from the car or the cafe, no walk to the machine
  • Fault reports with the location attached, so you know which gate

The setup

The codes a car park needs

Each with one job, each dynamic, so the rate or the payment page changes without repainting the pillar.

Pay for a bay

The bay number is in the code, so a driver scans, sees the rate for that spot and pays on the phone. No meter, no coins.

Extend a session

Top up time from the car or the cafe without walking back to the machine.

Find my car / level

Scan on the way in and the code notes the level and bay, so finding the car on the way out isn't a hunt.

Report a fault

A jammed boom gate, a full sign left on, a light out: scan and report with the location already attached.

A Thursday on level 3

What the codes do across one driver's day.
8:10 AMArrivesBay 314. The pillar code shows the rate and takes the payment on the phone; no ticket to lose behind the visor.
8:11 AMMarks the spotThe same scan notes level 3, bay 314, so finding the car later isn't a lap of the whole floor.
12:30 PMRunning lateLunch runs over. The driver extends the session from the table, no walk back to the machine.
1:00 PMA faultThe exit boom's stuck. A driver scans the report code; the location's already attached, so the operator knows which gate.
6:00 PMOperatorScans cluster at the entry and level 3. The quiet corners get a bigger, better-lit sign next week.

Honest bit

Where parking codes go wrong

We'd rather you printed two good codes than ten that nobody scans.

A bare code with no rate shownDrivers won't scan to find a surprise charge. Show the rate and what it does before they tap.
Payment through an unbranded shortenerPeople are wary of paying via a random link. A code on your own domain, matching your signage, gets used; a shortener gets ignored.
Ignoring the fake-sticker scamFraudsters stick fake codes over real ones at unattended meters. Use tamper-evident labels, keep the link on your domain, and inspect bays regularly.
Codes too small in low lightA car park is dim. Print big, matte and high-contrast, and light the sign. A small code on a dark pillar doesn't get scanned.
General guidance, not legal advice

If the pay code takes a card payment, that transaction runs through your payment provider, not QRmory. PCI compliance and the payment flow sit with them. And say who's collecting a plate or a payment and why on the page; that's a Privacy Act obligation, not a QRmory setting.

Creator — $12.99/mo

A single site runs a handful of codes (pay, extend, find-my-car and faults) with a fresh set per site as you add car parks. Creator's 50 dynamic codes, bulk generation and a custom domain (so the payment link reads as your operation, not a shortener) fit a growing operator. One small lot could start on Explorer ($5.99/month).

Parking facilities questions

The ones owners actually ask us before they print.

They trust a code that shows the rate up front and lives on your own domain matching the signage. A random shortener asking for a card, they won't, and shouldn't.
