Payment process
1. The car park customer places the parking card, that he or she has received at the entry terminal upon the entry to the car park, to the automatic pay station bar code scanner.
2. On the basis of a set tariff, the automatic pay station calculates the parking fee and passes this information to the customer via the graphic display.
3. For the used services, the customer makes the relevant cash payment (coins, banknotes) or non-cash payment (by a contact or contactless card). Then, a receipt can be issued.
4. After the payment has been made, the car park can be left within a set time frame. If the customer does not leave the car park within the set time frame, he or she has to make an additional payment of a relevant amount in the way described above.
