Virtual kiosk

What is virtual kiosk?

Screenshots of a mobile parking payment application called Autopay showing the process of paying for parking, receiving a receipt, and thanking the user.

Virtual Kiosk is an online payment solution that allows drivers to pay for their parking session before leaving the facility.

By scanning a QR code placed on-site, drivers are redirected to a mobile-friendly payment page where they can search for their session, pay, and exit within the configured grace period.

With Virtual kiosk, drivers no longer need to search for a physical payment machine to pay for parking, while parking operators can reduce the need for on-site payment machines.
