At Parkade, we're constantly looking for ways to make parking work better for everyone involved, so we're thrilled to announce our newest feature: Validation. This powerful tool connects local businesses with parkers, creating a win-win situation where businesses attract more customers and parkers get access to easy, affordable parking options.

A game-changer for local businesses and parkers

Parkade Validation transforms the relationship between local businesses and their customers. Now, visitors can receive discounted or even free parking when they visit participating businesses. This creates a powerful incentive for parkers to visit local shops, restaurants, and services — while making parking more affordable for everyone.

With validation, property managers can offer different parking privileges for different groups. For example, employees at nearby businesses might receive full-day validation, while customers could get an hour or two of free parking with their purchase. This flexibility creates a parking ecosystem that works for everyone.

How validation works

Setting up and using validation couldn't be simpler:

For property managers:

• Add validation partners such as on-site retailers through the web dashboard
• Customize validation terms for different businesses and user groups
• Track validation usage and patterns to optimize your parking strategy

For parkers:

• Book parking upon arrival at the lot and select which business they plan to visit
• Get immediate visibility into final costs after validation
• Visit the selected business and scan their validation QR code
• Automatically receive the parking refund

Flexible validation options

Parkade validation offers flexibility in how you structure your validation program. Some examples of how a property manager might utilize validation include:

• 2 hours free parking for all prospective residents
• Up to 7 days free parking for vendors
• 50% discounted parking for retail guests

This flexibility allows property managers to create validation arrangements that make sense for each business partner and their customers. Whether it's a coffee shop offering an hour of free parking with purchase or a movie theater covering parking for the duration of a film, our system adapts to your needs.
