What you'll do

Make a free account, add your lot, and post a QR sign that drivers scan to pay.

Have ready

  • Your lot's street address
  • How many parking spaces it has
  • Your hourly price
  • A credit or debit card (you pay $0 today)

  1. Step 1: Create your account

    Go to parkgraph.com and click Get started free, then Continue to sign up. Type your email, tick the Terms box and click Continue with email. Type the code we email you and click Verify and continue. There's no password. Then add a card and click Save card (you pay $0 today), and do the quick ID check with Verify now. It keeps fake lots off Park Graph.

Stuck?

  • Stopped at Add a card? You pay $0 today, and Starter has no monthly fee. We only charge the card for things you owe Park Graph, like a sign kit. If your bank asks you to approve it, do that and you'll come right back.
  • Sent back to Add a card? You need a card on file before your first lot. Add it and you'll pick up where you left off.
  • Not ready for the ID check? Click Do it later. We release your first payout only after it's done.
  • The address won't save? Pick it from the list that drops down as you type, instead of typing all of it.
  • Continue does nothing? Tick the box at the bottom of the form.
  • Your sign says PREVIEW? Your lot goes live the moment you connect Stripe. Connect Stripe, then download your sign again.
  • Left in the middle? Sign in again at parkgraph.com. Setup opens at the step you stopped on.
Next: Connect your Stripe account Start setup
