Introduction
PayStay is a widely used parking solution, particularly in Australia, that champions a fair 'pay-for-what-you-use' model. Instead of guessing how long you will need and overpaying to be safe, PayStay allows you to start your parking session when you arrive and stop it when you leave, ensuring you are charged for the exact duration of your stay. The app also includes a live availability map to help you find open spots in participating council areas and integrates convenient SMS reminders to ensure you never forget to stop your session. It is designed to make metropolitan parking fairer and cheaper for the user.
Key Features
Start/Stop Payment: Initiate parking with a tap and end it when you drive away; pay only for the minutes used.
Live Availability: View real-time data on parking space availability in supported zones.
SMS Reminders: Receive alerts to stop your session, preventing accidental overcharges.
Ticketless System: Completely digital transactions mean no paper tickets to display.
Guest Payment: Feature for one-time users to pay without a full account registration (select areas).
