One all-in rate — and it falls as you grow
No monthly bill, no hardware, no long-term contract. You pay a percentage only when ParkTab collects a payment, processing included, and the rate steps down automatically as your portfolio's volume grows. Every tier is published, including the largest.

Volume is your average monthly payments processed through ParkTab — card, mobile wallet, and PayPal-family, including tips — over the trailing 12 months, across every location you operate. Each tier includes its lower bound and excludes its upper one; tiers are reviewed monthly and applied automatically to the following month, no negotiation required. New operators qualify on their running average after the first 90 days. Per-transaction minimums of 70¢ (self-pay) and 25¢ (attendant) apply at every tier, and tips collected through ParkTab carry a 5% fee.
Clear pricing, your way
Payment processing — roughly 3% plus 30¢ on its own — is included in ParkTab’s rate, whether drivers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, PayPal, Cash App, or Venmo. You decide how to present the ParkTab fee: absorb it, build it into your parking rate, or disclose it as a convenience fee. Either way, drivers see the complete price before they pay — no surprise add-ons of 35¢ to $2.50 per session quietly appearing at checkout.
Nothing to buy, nothing to sign away
Gated systems start at $8K–$50K per lane installed, before software, maintenance, and 3–6 year contracts — a typical stack lands at 5–9% of revenue once everything is counted. ParkTab is printed signage and a month-to-month agreement.
Every standard rate is published — even the big ones
No “contact us” pricing games: the ladder applies automatically from your trailing volume, the same for every operator, and enterprise commitments can earn rates beyond it. For scale: full-service operators take 30–50% of gross, and marketplaces take 15–30% plus driver fees.
Running a large portfolio?
The ladder is where the conversation starts, not where it ends. For national portfolios and high-volume operations we shape the platform around you:
Commitment pricing — annual-commitment rates beyond the published ladder.
Your processor, if you prefer — third-party payment processing arrangements.
Deep integrations — marketplaces, gates and LPR, accounting, and custom builds.
Portfolio controls — consolidated billing, SSO, and role-based team access.
White-glove service — dedicated support, an SLA, and custom payout schedules.
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install new hardware?
No. ParkTab is QR- and plate-based, so you can go live with printed signage alone. If you run gated lots, we integrate with common LPR cameras and gate controllers, but it is optional.
How complex can my pricing get?
Very. Price by stay length, accumulating rates, or packages, with weekday schedules, entry windows, daily caps, grace periods, minimum charges, and date-specific event overrides. And you don’t have to build it by hand — the AI pricing assistant reads your existing rate sign, however tangled, and turns it into a working pricing plan and setup.
Are advanced software features limited by plan?
No. Every operator can manage any number of lots and use ParkTab’s pricing, enforcement, reporting, API, and webhook tools. Enterprise arrangements are available for custom processing, integrations, support, and service requirements.
How do the volume tiers work?
Your rate is set by your average monthly processed volume — the trailing 12 months of payments processed through ParkTab (card, mobile wallet, and PayPal-family, including tips) across all of your locations, added up as one portfolio and divided by twelve. We review it monthly and apply the matching tier to the following month automatically — there is nothing to request or negotiate. Operators newer than 12 months qualify on their running average after the first 90 days, and per-transaction minimums stay the same at every tier.
When do I get paid?
Revenue lands in your Stripe-powered payout account as sessions are paid. Funds clear after a short hold that protects you and your parkers on card disputes, then transfer to your bank automatically — and when your cleared balance is large, it pays out as soon as it clears instead of waiting for the next scheduled run. Exact hold periods, thresholds, and schedules are in the Operator Agreement; enterprise arrangements can customize them.
Can drivers pay with Apple Pay and Google Pay?
Yes. Express wallets are first-class in the consumer app, alongside saved cards. Drivers verify once by text, save a vehicle, and future sessions are a single tap.
Does it integrate with SpotHero and other marketplaces?
It does. ParkTab accepts partner benefit grants, pre-paid reservations, and sponsored parking, then reconciles them as line items in revenue reporting.
How long does it take to go live?
Most operators are live within 14 days, often the same week for a single lot. Add lots, build rates, print QR signage, and start collecting.
