How to set up a parking tariff

The fee is calculated automatically at every check-out from the active tariff. This page explains the four parts of a tariff, how to read it with an example, and how to work with several tariffs.

What a tariff is and where it lives

A tariff is the rule that turns the time a vehicle spent inside into a fee. Open the Tariffs tab at the bottom of the app; owners and branch managers can edit it, staff can only view it. A sample "Standard tariff" is created on first install — overwrite it or add a new one.

The four parts of a tariff

  1. Free minutes (grace): a vehicle leaving within this time pays nothing. Set to zero to charge from the first minute.
  2. Brackets: "up to this minute, this total fee" rows. Example: 60 min → 50, 180 min → 80, 720 min → 150. A bracket is a total, not an hourly add-on.
  3. Daily cap: the maximum charged for one day. Leave it empty and no cap applies.
  4. "And above" rate: what is charged for time beyond the last bracket.

Reading it with an example

Say your tariff is 15 min free · 60 min → 50 · 180 min → 80 · daily cap 200.

Tip: Enter bracket rows in increasing time order; the app sorts a misplaced row, but the list is easier for you to read that way.

Several tariffs and the active one

You can define separate tariffs for weekdays/weekends, day/night or a campaign. Mark the one to be used at check-out as active; only one tariff is active at a time. Changing the active tariff does not touch past records — every vehicle is charged with the tariff active at its check-out.

Changing the fee by hand

You can override the calculated amount at check-out; if the manager PIN is enabled the PIN is asked, and staff cannot override. Every manual change is written to the audit log and shown separately in the end-of-day report — so the till and the screen always agree.
