Plate-based parking is exactly what it sounds like: a driver's license plate is the account. They park, the cameras read the plate, and they pay from their phone — no app required.
For the driver, that's the least friction possible. For the owner, it means more completed payments and fewer abandoned sessions, because the easiest thing to do is also the thing that pays you.
It's also the foundation for loyalty: once the plate is the account, rewards and recognition come for free.
