How payment terminals are used in parking
Prepaid
Typical on-street configurations require the user to pay for parking in the parking terminal upfront. You can select between preprogrammed time options (like 1 hour, 3 hours, daily, etc) or enter the desired time, and pay.
Postpaid
In gated lots, people usually pay before leaving. The payment terminal calculates the cost, based on the time parked; the customer pays and then has a grace period (typically 15 minutes) to leave.
Postpaid with freeflow
The freeflow is a camera-based lot without barriers. You drive in and out, and the camera captures the sessions. Payment terminal allows to pay for the current and previous unpaid sessions (typically max 48 hours later).
Discounts / validations
You can give or show discounted parking, which can be given at parking kiosks or in a payment terminal by scanning a voucher or a purchase receipt.
How payment terminals are used in electric car charging
Driver activates the charging
The driver starts the electric car charging session via the payment terminal, which reserves the maximum expected payment sum.
Charging session starts
The system authorizes the session, the plug is connected, and electricity begins flowing to the vehicle.
Charging status overview
Charging progress, energy consumption, and current cost can be tracked in real time.
Payment & payout
Once charging ends, the payment according to the actually consumed energy is processed. This also releases the unused portion of the reserved funds.
Physical product overview
Autlo payment terminals are designed specifically for unattended parking locations.
Each unit combines industrial-grade hardware with intuitive software, ensuring reliability and ease of use for drivers.
Key physical characteristics:
✓ Outdoor or indoor rated metal housing (IP-rated)
✓ Anti-vandal design
✓ Touchscreen display (sizes available)
✓ Thermal printer (optional)
✓ Integrated card reader (EMV, NFC)
✓ Optional cash and/or coin acceptor or returns
✓ Custom design and colors available
Dedicated models for outdoor and indoor
The outdoor payment terminal is made of powder-coated aluminium and has thermal insulation, sealing, heating, ventilation, and thermal controllers. It provides reliable performance in all weather conditions, from the sun-exposed ports of Palermo in Sicily to the windy, humid, and cold environments of Nordkapp in Norway.
The indoor payment terminal is made of powder-coated steel. It is meant for indoor use, like lobbies, entrances, and other locations without direct exposure to rain, snow, or sun. This allows you to save on the initial investment.
The color can be customized, with graffiti-resistant finishes available for public environments.
Order Configuration
The Autlo Payment Terminal is available in two form factors: freestanding (floor-mounted) and wall-mounted (compact design).
Autlo payment terminals cater to a wide range of screen sizes. Typical screen sizes in inches are: 19 - 21,5 - 24 - 27 - 32. Custom sizes are available.
Each unit features a vandal-resistant enclosure, touchscreen, built-in industrial PC, and secure locking system. Outdoor models typically also have sealed housing, thermal insulation, heating, and ventilation.
Other typical options include printers, scanners, and cameras. The receipt can be printed out, sent to email, or you can scan a QR code that opens the receipt on your phone (so you can save it).
The screen is highly customizable. Besides charging for parking and/or charging, you can sell other products or show ads.
All the payment options
Card only
Ideal for modern, cashless parking locations where speed, simplicity, lower cost, and low maintenance are priorities. Card-only terminals support EMV chip cards, contactless payments, and mobile wallets, reducing operational complexity while meeting today’s user expectations.
Supported payment methods include:
✓ EMV chip cards (credit and debit)
✓ Contactless payments (NFC)
✓ Mobile wallets (like Apple and Google Pay)
Card and cash
Well-suited for public parking environments where inclusivity and accessibility are essential. These terminals accept card payments alongside with cash, with optional coin handling, ensuring all drivers can pay regardless of payment preference.
Supported payment methods and options include:
✓ EMV chip and contactless cards
✓ Mobile wallets
✓ Banknotes and/or coins
Card, cash and returns
The most powerful option for high intensity locations, where the original higher investment can be earned back by reducing the cost of cash collection. These terminals are able, besides essential card and cash payments, to also return cash and / or coins.
Supported payment methods and options include:
✓ EMV chip, contactless cards and wallets
✓ Banknotes and/or coins
✓ Banknote and/or coin returns
For operators prioritizing online payments, the payment terminals and kiosks can be combined with QR-based and app-based payments. Drivers can start or end parking sessions using their mobile device, while physical terminals remain available as a reliable fallback option.
This hybrid approach reduces hardware dependency while improving user convenience and scalability across locations. It can also be cheaper as the number of required payment terminals can be smaller.
Supported mobile and digital payment options include:
- Webshop
- Parking or charging apps
- Integration with mobility wallets or local apps (like a shopping mall app)
Webshop and parking apps can usually be reached by a QR code, placed on nearby signs, which takes the user to the webshop payment page or the app download page.
