Stalls are optional and only need to be used for lots with stall-specific rates or logic.

Stalls are a combination of Zones and Areas as well as a stall range.	Example ranges: 1-10, 12, 16-32
Both a Zone and an Area must be defined.	To restrict CallToPark payments To the specified stalls, please use Validate Stall in the CallToPark Tab.
