How to grow your payments app with small car park operators
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Small car parks near markets, stations, hospitals and events collect fees by the hour, the day or the month. Many still take cash from an attendant or a ticket machine that often breaks. A payments app that lets drivers pay by phone can win these operators, and every driver who parks there sees your app.
Talk to car park operators
Ask local car park owners and attendants:
- How do drivers pay today, and how much of it is cash?
- How do regular drivers pay for monthly spaces?
- What problems do you have with ticket machines or change?
- What would make paying quicker for drivers?
Take payments by QR code
A QR code at the entrance or on each sign lets drivers pay in seconds, with a receipt on their phone and less cash for the attendant to carry.
Sell monthly spaces by link
A payment link each month lets regular drivers keep their space without queuing, and the operator knows who has paid.
Grow through the drivers
Car parks sit next to markets, clinics and event venues. One car park on your app can bring you the businesses its drivers visit.
