Check any plate in seconds, from the phone you already have
Scan a plate to check permits, guest passes, and paid sessions for that lot. See the applicable permit hours and event rules, prior balances, and warnings when outside payment data cannot be verified.
- Give courtesy warnings first, if you like. Each lot sets how many a plate gets.
- Tickets keep photo evidence, the fine schedule, and available plate-check context for review.
- Print to Brother mobile printers straight from the phone (Zebra on Android is in testing).
- Record boots and tows and call your tow company in one tap. Both stay off until you ask and we turn them on, and following local rules is up to you. Details


Citation payments
Drivers pay the ticket online in about 30 seconds
Every ticket carries a QR code. Drivers scan it, or enter the ticket number or plate on your site, and pay on their phone. No app and no account.
- Your logo and colors on every page, receipt, and email.
- Money settles to your own Stripe account.
- Drivers contest with photos or documents. Review the record and download a dispute packet.
- Email notices and overdue reminders when a plate matches a parker on file.

Daily parking
Sell parking with a QR poster
Drivers scan a lot’s QR poster and pay on their phone. Sell daily and event parking, offer advance daily bookings, and let nearby merchants validate eligible parking.
- Hourly, rest-of-day, overnight, and longer passes, at prices you set.
- Advance daily bookings and event rates, with limits and cancellation settings you control.
- Merchant codes cover free time, with eligible extra time available to buy.
- By default, drivers pay exactly what you post, with no fees added.

Monthly parkers
From monthly application to permit and payment
Take applications online, manage a waitlist, and assign plans with days, hours, and event rules. Bill individuals or companies and let residents arrange guest parking.
- Plans, applications, and physical permit-card records stay with your parker roster.
- Card, ACH, or invoices, with billing schedules, proration, and monthly-charge refunds.
- Schedule and extend guest passes, with visitor-lot rules and weekly or monthly quotas.


Merchant validations
Let nearby businesses cover customer parking.
Give each store or restaurant its own portal for single-use parking codes. Customers use the free time or buy an eligible longer stay; your office can see usage and invoice the merchant.
- Choose the merchant’s lots, free-time allowance, and code expiry.
- Monthly statements and invoices keep the business’s parking spend visible.
- For same-day fixed-duration parking; separate from event rates, advance bookings, and promo codes.

Admin and reporting
Every lot, ticket, and dollar in one place
Separate sales, money collected, refunds, and tax. Check Stripe payouts, review payments recorded by staff, and monitor the health of outside payment data.
- Export money summaries and recorded payments with their references.
- Monthly property reports, emailed to the owners you choose.
- Permissions for each user, and a full audit log.
- A go-live checklist that walks you through setup.

Keep the parking workflow together
Applications lead to permits. Parking purchases and guest passes feed the plate check. Citations keep the evidence your office needs. Lotably connects those steps under your brand, with every feature included in each plan and settings you control.

Common questions
More in the help center, on the pricing page, and in what the Free plan includes.
Can people apply for monthly parking online?
Yes. Turn on online applications, choose the plans and documents to request, and set monthly spots per lot. Staff can approve, decline, or waitlist applicants. When a counted spot opens, the next applicant receives an offer held for 72 hours. Approval creates the permit; it starts after the first payment or a staff action, depending on the payment arrangement.
Can nearby businesses validate customer parking?
Yes. Add a merchant, choose its lots and free-time limit, and send its sign-in link. The merchant issues single-use validation codes or QR links. Drivers get the validated time free and can buy eligible extra time. Validations use same-day, fixed-duration parking; they do not combine with promo codes, advance bookings, or event parking. Monthly statements and merchant invoices are available.
What is Lotably?
Lotably is parking management and enforcement software for operators. Sell daily and event parking, take monthly applications, manage permits and guests, offer merchant validations, and handle citations and reporting in one system, under your brand and connected Stripe account.
Is Lotably free?
Yes, to start. The Free plan is $0 a month for up to 2 lots and includes every feature: plate scanning, citations drivers pay online, daily parking by QR code, monthly parkers and billing, guest passes, disputes, and reports. Lotably keeps 12% of what you collect online (at most 35¢ on a daily parking session), drivers pay no app fee, and no credit card is needed. Starter is $99 a month for up to 25 lots at 5%.
How do we get started?
Sign up online at lotably.com/signup. Pick a plan, confirm your email, name your site, and sign the agreement electronically. Your account is live as soon as you sign up (on Starter, once your card or bank account is saved), so tickets, payments, and your public pages are on. Then add your lots, rates, and monthly parkers and connect your Stripe account from your dashboard.
Do we have to talk to sales first?
No. The Free and Starter plans are fully self-serve. Call or email us if you have a question first, or if you need a Custom plan for a large portfolio, your own domain, or municipal terms.
Do we keep our citation revenue?
Yes. Payments run on Stripe Connect as direct charges, so funds settle to your own Stripe account. Lotably never holds your money. The plan fee on payments collected online is the only platform charge on payments: the plan percentage, and on a daily parking session at most 35¢ (Free) or 25¢ (Starter).
Is it really white-label?
Yes. Every account gets its own site at yourname.lotably.com with your logo, colors, document prefixes, timezone, and fines, so drivers see your brand on every ticket, receipt, and payment page. Custom plans can run on your own domain and drop the small “Powered by Lotably” footer credit.
What hardware do we need?
The officer app is a web app that runs on any modern phone or tablet; a mobile printer adds printed slips. Pay-to-park needs nothing more than a printed QR poster.
Can we run multiple lots or sites?
Yes. The Free plan covers up to 2 active lots. Starter covers up to 25 for $99 a month, with no per-lot fee while your drivers pay through Lotably, and every lot shares your brand, fines, timezone, and payout account. More than 25 lots is a Custom plan, and to run several distinct brands, Custom plans give each brand its own workspace and payout account.
Can we connect our existing parking hardware or import our parkers?
Yes. Import your monthly parker roster by CSV so enforcement checks against your existing permit holders, and enable Parking BOXX or ParkMobile sync and manual or CSV sessions together. Officers check those sources alongside Lotably passes and see warnings when relevant outside data cannot be verified. Other vendor connections require scoping and API access. Payments run through your own Stripe account, and license-plate recognition is built in, nothing extra to procure.
