01
Manual registration
Paper logs and emailed vehicle details slow down guests and create records that are hard to search later.
For guest and visitor parking
Visitor parking without paper logs, mystery plates, or front-desk calls.
Give guests a fast mobile path into the lot while keeping property managers in control. Every visitor pass connects a plate, time window, parking location, and status in one searchable record.

The operating problem
Make guest parking easier without losing control
02
Unclear availability
Guests do not know which spaces are open, while managers cannot see what has actually been allocated.
03
Expired passes linger
A physical permit can look valid after its approved window unless someone manually checks another system.
How it works
A clear visitor flow from arrival to validation
- 1
Open the visitor channel
Choose the spaces, rates, pass duration, photo requirement, and approval behavior for public parking.
- 2
Let the visitor register
The visitor scans the property QR code, selects an available option, enters vehicle details, and completes checkout on a phone.
- 3
Validate the plate
Authorized security staff search the plate and see the active status, space, vehicle, and expiration information.
What you can run
Visitor parking tools for every role
Public QR checkout
A browser-based experience lets visitors register and pay without downloading a dedicated app.
Resident-created passes
Residents can register their own guests within the limits and duration policies defined by management.
Manual approval
Configured requests can wait for a manager decision before the authorized charge is captured and the pass activates.
Plate photo evidence
Properties can make a plate photo optional or required at checkout and expose it only to authorized staff.
Automatic expiration
Passes carry a defined end time so their status changes without maintaining a separate paper list.
Email confirmation
Visitors receive a confirmation containing the details they need to understand their parking authorization.
Questions
What teams ask before switching.
Straight answers based on the way getParkFlow works today.
Do visitors need to create an account?+
The public visitor parking flow does not require a getParkFlow account. Visitors use the property link or QR code from a mobile browser.
Can a manager approve a visitor before charging them?+
Yes. Approval-first payment settings can authorize a card and wait for the manager to approve or deny the request before capture.
Can residents create visitor passes?+
Yes on plans with the resident portal. Management controls the applicable duration and property rules.
How does security know whether a guest is valid?+
Authorized security users search the license plate and see the current pass status and relevant parking details.
