Paying must be the easy part
A parking payment fails for simple reasons: the customer has no coins, no app, no account, or no patience for a queue at the machine. Every failed payment is revenue written off or a dispute for your staff to handle later.
Autlo removes the excuse. You choose which payment channels to offer on each site, and all of them sell the same products at the same prices from the same tariff engine. Whether a customer taps a card at the kiosk, pays in the app, buys a permit in the webshop or simply drives in and gets invoiced by number plate, the transaction lands in one account, one report and one bookkeeping export.
Ways to pay
Offer the channels that fit your site and your customers, or all of them at once. Each one works on its own and all of them work together.
Bank cards
Debit and credit cards, Visa and Mastercard, with contactless tap at the kiosk and card-on-file for app and webshop customers. Regular customers can store a card once and have every stay charged automatically.
Mobile apps
The Autlo app or a white-label app under your own brand: start and stop parking, buy permits, open gates and see receipts from the phone. We have also integrated third-party parking apps, so you can work with the providers your customers already use.
Webshop and self-service
Customers pay before or after the stay by entering their number plate on your website, with no account and no download. The same self-service portal sells permits and season passes and lets customers manage vehicles and invoices themselves.
Payment kiosk
An on-site terminal for walk-up customers who prefer to pay at the car park. Type in the plate, pay by card, and leave. Kiosks also handle registrations and validations, print receipts and show guidance on screen.
Bank links
Direct payment from the customer's own bank account through local bank links, a familiar option in many European markets and cost-effective for higher-value products such as season passes.
Existing payment hardware
Already have pay-and-display machines or a partner's terminals on site? Autlo connects to many hardware providers through its API, so you can keep collecting payments with the equipment you own while the accounting runs through one platform.
Ways to be billed
The best payment is the one the customer never has to think about. For registered vehicles and regular customers, Autlo collects the money after the fact.
Pay by number plate
The camera reads the plate on entry and exit, the tariff engine calculates the price and the registered customer's card or account is charged automatically. No ticket, no stop at the machine, no barrier queue.
Monthly invoicing
Companies and regular customers receive one invoice a month with every stay itemised, sent by email with a PDF attached. The bookkeeping module generates the invoices, tracks payments and exports to your accounting system.
Reminders before penalties
If an invoice or a plate-based payment is overdue, automatic email and SMS reminders go out on the schedule you set. Most customers pay on the first reminder, and staff never have to chase.
Enforcement
The payment method nobody chooses, yet some customers insist on. For those who skip every option above, the enforcement app steps in: the officer or the ANPR camera spots the unpaid vehicle and the parking fee arrives later as a penalty notice, complete with photo, timestamp and a much larger number. It is by far the most expensive way to pay for parking, which is precisely why it keeps the other methods popular.
Pricing options
One tariff engine feeds every payment channel. Prices are configuration, not custom development, and a change applies everywhere at once.
Standard pricing
Per hour, per day or per product, with free minutes, start fees and minimum charges, set separately for each zone and vehicle type.
Time-of-day and weekday pricing
Different rates for daytime and evening, weekdays and weekends, or high season and low season, so the price follows demand.
Price caps
Cap what a customer pays for a selected period, a calendar day, any rolling 24 hours, a week or a month. Overnight and long stays stay predictable.
Validations and kiosk registrations
Shops, hotels and offices validate a visitor's parking from a web page, QR code or the kiosk. Customers register their plate at the kiosk for a free or discounted stay, and the tariff adjusts automatically.
Customer-based deals and discounts
Special tariffs, percentage discounts and bundled products for individual customers, companies and customer groups such as staff, residents or members.
Event pricing
Flat event rates and pre-sold passes for concerts, matches and festivals, switched on for the event window and back to the regular tariff when it is over.
Everything behind the payment
Payments are one module of the Autlo platform. The rest of the operation runs on the same account.
Bookkeeping tools
Invoices, payment matching, VAT reports and accounting exports for every channel.
Digital parking permits
Permits and season passes sold online, paid by card, bank link or invoice and tied to the number plate.
Enforcement management
Unpaid stays flow from the payment system to the enforcement app and back, with penalties, appeals and payments in one place.
Payment terminals
Autlo's own kiosks and terminals, or integration with the hardware already on site.
API integrations
Connect payment providers, accounting systems, apps and hardware partners through the open API.

Trusted by operators across sectors
Common questions
No. You choose the channels per site. Many operators start with the app and webshop, add a kiosk where walk-up traffic justifies it, and offer invoicing to their business customers.
Yes. The webshop and the kiosk both work with just a number plate and a bank card. No registration or download is needed.
Autlo connects to card acquirers, bank links and mobile payment providers in each market it operates in, and new providers can be added through the API. Tell us where you operate and we will confirm the options.
The tariff engine applies the rates for each hour of the stay and then checks the cap for the selected period, calendar day, 24 hours, week or month. The customer always pays the lower of the two.
A merchant, hotel or office validates a visitor's plate from a web page, QR code or the kiosk, or the visitor registers the plate at the kiosk themselves. The stay is then free or discounted according to the rule you set, and the merchant sees a report of what was validated.
Automatic reminders go out first. If the stay remains unpaid, it is handed to the enforcement app, where a penalty notice is issued with the photo evidence and paid through the same channels.
Yes. A white-label app and webshop let customers pay entirely under your brand, and the kiosk screens carry your design.
Collect every payment, whichever way it comes
Cards, apps, webshop, kiosks, bank links, invoices and number-plate billing, all priced by one tariff engine and reconciled in one place. We can set up a new system, integrate with the payment hardware you already have, or build a white-label solution under your own brand.
