Streamline Parking Payments with the Smart Park App
Introduction:
The Smart Park app simplifies parking payments at participating parking lots by allowing you to pay directly from your smartphone, eliminating the need to use payment machines.
Main Features:
- Parking Lot Detection: The app uses your smartphone’s location information to help you easily find participating Smart Park parking lots nearby.
- Vehicle Search: You can search for your parked vehicle by entering the last four digits of your license plate. The app will then display potential matches based on the entered digits, allowing you to select the correct vehicle. If you don’t know the license plate or can’t find it this way, you can also search by approximate parking time.
- License Plate Pre-Registration: You can pre-register your vehicle’s license plate within the app (account registration required, only one vehicle can be registered), saving time by eliminating the need to search for your vehicle each time you pay.
- Service Ticket Redemption: If you received a parking service ticket from a store or facility, you can scan the QR code or barcode on the ticket within the app to apply the discount or validation. In some cases, the QR code or barcode on your receipt may also serve as a service ticket (check with the specific store or facility).
- Cashless Payment: After applying any service tickets, you can pay any remaining balance directly through the app using cashless payment methods. Currently supported methods include credit cards, PayPay, LINE Pay, and Merpay.
- Alternative Payment Options: If you prefer to pay with cash or other methods not supported by the app, you can still use the parking fee adjustment machines located in the parking lot. Any service ticket discounts you’ve applied in the app will also be reflected at the machine.
- Security Features: The app restricts vehicle searches to within the vicinity of participating parking lots using location information. It also limits the number of searches to prevent unauthorized use. If you have additional information about specific security measures, such as data encryption or secure authentication, include it here.
