Metered parking

Your lot, your rates, your revenue.

Drivers type the code on your sign, pick 1 to 24 hours and pay by phone. You set the rate and tax; payouts go straight to your own Stripe account.

ParkHere is built and supported in Canada. Plans are billed in Canadian dollars and driver sign-in currently needs a Canadian mobile number. Managing property in the US? Book a demo and we will talk it through.

Illustrative example

What could your lot earn?

An example, not a quote. Move the sliders, or open Additional options to change every number, including the operator's share.

Illustrative example: 20 spaces at $1.00 per hour, paid for 4 hours a day on 25 days a month, is about $2,000 in gross revenue a month, or $24,000 over 12 months, against a ParkHere subscription of $19.80 a month (20 spaces at $0.99).

Illustrative only, not a quote. The months follow an illustrative pattern (summer and December up, January and February down) that adds up to the same yearly total. The operator line uses the share you set in Additional options. ParkHere charges the monthly subscription plus a 10% service fee on each payment, which the example does not deduct. Card processing fees apply to each payment; the subscription is billed monthly plus tax.

ParkHere Metered turns any private lot into paid parking for $0.99 per space per month. Drivers type the 6-digit code on your sign, choose 1 to 24 hours and pay by phone; you set the rate and tax per lot and payouts go to your own Stripe account.

The problem

Small lots deserve better than a machine

Pay stations, parking apps and operators were built for big garages, not for a plaza, a church or an office lot.

point_of_sale

Pay stations cost more than they collect

Buying, installing and servicing a machine for a small lot rarely pays back. Coins jam, cards fail, and someone has to empty it.

corporate_fare

Operators run your lot on their terms

Revenue-share operators decide the rates, the signage and the reporting. You get a statement, not control.

event_busy

Empty spaces earn nothing

Evening, weekend and overflow spaces sit idle while drivers circle nearby. Without a simple way to charge, there is no reason to open them.

link_off

Payment and patrol do not talk

A payment app that does not feed your patrol means officers still cannot tell who paid, and towing without a record is a risk.

How it works

Live in three steps

Set the rate, post the sign, collect.

1

Set your rate and connect Stripe

Add the lot, the number of spaces, your hourly rate and tax (inclusive or added at checkout). Connect your own Stripe account through hosted onboarding; the lot appears to drivers once that is complete.

2

Drivers type the code and pay

A driver types the 6-digit code from your sign, sees your lot and price, picks their vehicle and 1 to 24 hours, and pays with the card saved to their phone number. The pass appears on screen at once.

3

Money lands in your account, patrol sees the plates

Each payment settles to your Stripe account; ParkHere never holds it. Patrol officers see active and expired plates for the lot and can request a tow in one tap.

What you get

Everything a paid lot needs, nothing to install

sell

Rates and tax per lot

Set the hourly price, the number of spaces and the tax rate for each lot, tax-inclusive or added at checkout. Different lots, different rates.

schedule

Driver picks 1 to 24 hours

Drivers choose how long they need and see the total with tax before paying. The pass ends on time, with nothing to top up.

account_balance

Direct payouts

Payments settle to your own Stripe account. Open your Stripe dashboard from the Billing page to see every transaction.

phone_iphone

No pay station, no app

Drivers use the browser on their phone with a Canadian mobile number. One saved card works at every ParkHere lot.

shield_person

Patrol built in

Officers see active and expired plates per lot, refreshed every 30 seconds, and send tow requests to your tow company in one tap.

Every pass and charge is logged. Watch a 90-day activity heatmap on your dashboard and export history when you need it.

Who it's for

Built for lots you already own

Plaza and small business owners

Best for lots you already own. Charge during the hours you choose, keep control of rates and signage, and stop giving spaces away to all-day parkers.

Best for adding a paid visitor lot beside a building you already run. Residents, visitors and patrol use the same sign-in, and it all lives in one account.

FAQ

Metered parking questions

The short answers before you set up your first lot.

No. Drivers use the browser on their phone, sign in with a Canadian mobile number and a 6-digit code sent by text, type the location code from your sign, choose 1 to 24 hours and pay with their saved card. The pass appears on screen and under My Passes.
Each payment settles to your own connected Stripe account; ParkHere never holds your revenue. Stripe pays out to your bank on the schedule set for your Stripe account, and you can open your Stripe dashboard from the Billing page. Lots only appear to drivers once your Stripe onboarding is complete.
Yes. Each lot has its own hourly rate, number of spaces, tax rate and tax-inclusive or tax-added setting, plus a description drivers see. Create as many lots as you need. There is no time-of-day pricing today; the rate you set applies whenever the lot is available.
When every space has an active pass, ParkHere refuses new purchases until one expires. Passes end at the time the driver chose, from 1 to 24 hours, and patrol officers see expired plates with the minutes since expiry. A card that is declined never produces a pass.
$0.99 per space per month, plus tax, billed monthly through Stripe. No setup fees, no contracts, no pay station to buy or service. Payment processing fees apply to each driver payment. After your demo, your account starts with a free 30-day trial covering up to 25 metered spaces; cancel before day 31 and nothing is charged.
Your patrol officers see every plate with an active or expired pass for the lot on their phone and can send a tow request to your tow company in one tap; the tow company accepts or rejects by email. ParkHere does not issue tickets or fines. Post tow-away signage and confirm local towing rules with your municipality.
