Getting started
Your first lot in 5 minutes
This guide walks you through everything you need to set up your first parking lot on Park Graph — from creating your account to printing your QR code and collecting your first payment.
Get started in 3 steps
From sign-up to first payment in under 10 minutes.
Create your account
Sign up with your email or Google account. No credit card required for the free Starter plan. You will be asked for your name, company name, and timezone.
Connect Stripe
Park Graph uses Stripe Connect for payment processing. Click "Connect Stripe" in your dashboard to set up or link your Stripe Express account. This is where driver payments will be deposited after Park Graph's platform fee is deducted.
Add your first lot
Enter your lot name, address, number of spaces, and hourly rate. Park Graph geocodes the address automatically and generates a unique slug and QR short code for your lot.
Configure pricing
Set your base hourly rate, daily maximum, and any surge pricing rules. Starter plans use fixed hourly rates. Pro and Enterprise plans can enable dynamic pricing with occupancy-based surge, event surge, and time-of-day adjustments.
Print and post your QR code
Download your branded QR code from the dashboard. Print it on any standard printer — we recommend laminating for weather protection. Post it at your lot entrance, on parking signs, or anywhere drivers can see it.
Start collecting payments
That is it. When a driver scans your QR code, they see your lot page with the current rate and can pay instantly. Revenue appears in your dashboard in real-time, and payouts are deposited to your bank within 2 business days.
