Parking Validations & Discounts

With ParkWhiz reservations, validations are typically offered in two ways:

Promo Codes
Enter a promo code during checkout to receive a discount. Promo codes are often shared by event venues, partners, or merchants.
Private Listings
Some reservations are available only to specific customers via:
- Direct Links shared through email
- Access via Email Domain (e.g., only users with a company email like @example.com)

These private offers automatically apply special rates or discounts when accessed correctly.

LPR at Gated Facilities

For gated facilities with License Plate Recognition (LPR), ParkWhiz enables a seamless, touchless entry and exit experience.

If you enter your license plate when making a reservation, you are able to drive in and out without scanning a barcode at the kiosk.
Operators can require a license plate for reservations at LPR-enabled locations. In those cases, a plate must be entered at checkout to complete the booking and access the facility.

This helps ensure a frictionless experience and faster access to your parking spot.

Reporting & Reconciliation

Gain insights and simplify financial tracking:

Daily Activity Reports
Monitor active reservations, occupancy trends, and session history.
Reconciliation Tools
Match digital reservations with lot usage for transparent accounting.

How to view bookings in the Seller Console:

Go to Sellers > Location > Bookings tab

At the Bookings tab you have the ability to monitor the active reservations, search for a specific booking, filter bookings, process refunds, and more.
