Getting started with OtoparkPro: first setup

This page walks you from the first launch to the first vehicle entry. No computer, barrier or installation crew is needed; a phone is enough.

1. Install the app and pass the welcome screens

On first launch a short three-page introduction appears; you can pass it with Skip. The decision page offers two paths:

Try for now: start using the app right away without an account; everything stays on the device.
Create account / Sign in: open a cloud account; backup, multiple devices, staff and the TV board depend on it. You can also do this later — the records on the device move to the cloud together with your account.

Once you land on the dashboard, a three-step walkthrough (vehicle entry, vehicle exit, cash) is shown once; you can close it with Skip and it will not come back.

2. Define your branch

A default branch named "Merkez" (Turkish for "Main") is ready on install. Go to Settings → Branches to rename it and, if you like, enter the capacity (number of vehicles) and the location. The location is used for "Visible to drivers" and for the free-space count on the TV board. If you run more than one car park, each one becomes a separate branch.

3. Set up your tariff

The Tariffs tab at the bottom holds a ready-made "Standard tariff"; replace it with your own fees, or add a new tariff and make it active. Details: How to set up a parking tariff.

4. Currency, language and plate country

Go to Settings → Region to choose the currency and the plate country. The plate country tells the camera which plate format to look for (23 country patterns + free format). The app language follows the phone language; you can also change it separately in Settings.

5. First vehicle entry

Tap VEHICLE ENTRY on the dashboard and point the camera at the plate; the plate is read, you confirm, and the vehicle appears as inside. If it is not read, type it from the Plate not read? Enter manually row. At exit, use VEHICLE EXIT to scan the plate or pick it from the list; the fee is calculated from your tariff. Details: Vehicle entry and exit.

The first 24 hours and the first 10 records

Note: No subscription is asked for during the first 24 hours and the first 10 vehicle records after setup. Once both are used up, the subscription screen appears; a 7-day free trial is granted once per store account. Details: Subscription and payment.
