Drivers type the code on your sign, pick when and how long, and pay by phone. You set the hours, prices and tax; payouts go straight to your own Stripe account.
An example, not a quote. Move the sliders, or open Additional options to change every number, including the operator's share.
Illustrative example: 20 spaces at $1.00 per hour, paid for 4 hours a day on 25 days a month, is about $2,000 in gross revenue a month, or $24,000 over 12 months, against a ParkHere subscription of $19.80 a month (20 spaces at $0.99).

Illustrative only, not a quote. The months follow an illustrative pattern (summer and December up, January and February down) that adds up to the same yearly total. The operator line uses the share you set in Additional options. ParkHere charges the monthly subscription plus a 10% service fee on each payment, which the example does not deduct. Card processing fees apply to each payment; the subscription is billed monthly plus tax.

ParkHere Metered turns any private lot into paid parking for $0.99 per space per month. Drivers type the 6-digit code on your sign, choose when and how long and pay by phone; you set the hours, prices and tax per lot and payouts go to your own Stripe account.
Pay stations, parking apps and operators were built for big garages, not for a plaza, a church or an office lot.
Buying, installing and servicing a machine for a small lot rarely pays back. Coins jam, cards fail, and someone has to empty it.
Revenue-share operators decide the rates, the signage and the reporting. You get a statement, not control.
Evening, weekend and overflow spaces sit idle while drivers circle nearby. Without a simple way to charge, there is no reason to open them.
A payment app that does not feed your patrol means officers still cannot tell who paid, and towing without a record is a risk.
Set the rate, post the sign, collect.
Add the lot and its spaces, then set its hours, prices and tax (inclusive or added at checkout) once for the location. Connect your own Stripe account through hosted onboarding; a paid lot appears to drivers once that is complete, a free lot at once.
A driver types the 6-digit code from your sign, sees your lot with its hours and prices, picks when and how long, a space where you allow it, and their vehicle, and pays with the card saved to their phone number. The pass appears on screen at once.
Each payment settles to your Stripe account; ParkHere never holds it. Patrol officers see active and expired plates for the lot and can request a tow in one tap.
Hourly, daily, weekly or by the slot: set the prices, the opening hours and the tax rate for each lot, tax-inclusive or added at checkout. Different lots, different prices, and a lot can be free.
Drivers choose when, for how long and, where you allow it, which space, up to 30 days ahead, and see the total with tax before paying. The pass ends on time, and a driver who leaves early can free the space.
Payments settle to your own Stripe account. Open your Stripe dashboard from the Billing page to see every transaction.
Drivers use the browser on their phone with a Canadian or US mobile number. A card entered once works at every ParkHere lot, and a free lot asks for none.
Officers see active and expired plates per lot, refreshed every 30 seconds, and send tow requests to your tow company in one tap.
Every pass and charge is logged. Watch a 90-day activity heatmap on your dashboard and export history when you need it.
Best for lots you already own. Charge during the hours you choose, keep control of rates and signage, and stop giving spaces away to all-day parkers.
Best for lots that sit empty most of the week. Earn on weekdays or event nights without staffing a booth or buying a machine.
Best for adding a paid visitor lot beside a building you already run. Residents, visitors and patrol use the same sign-in, and it all lives in one account.

The short answers before you set up your first lot.
Communities, units, managers, signage: all of it matters. But one step switches on the parts of ParkHere that bring money in. What Stripe Connect is, what stays off until it is done, and what to have ready.
The purchase price is only the start of what a meter costs. How pay-by-phone replaces the machine with a sign, how to set rates, who checks plates, and what the first month looks like.
