Parking Spot QR Generator

Create a QR code for one parking spot that opens pay, extend, or report flows for that spot, plus a spot label you can fix to the wall.

Encoded payload

This is exactly what the QR code contains. Check it before printing.

Fill in the fields above to generate the payload.

The payload is your parking page URL with the spot number and the chosen action added as query parameters, so the page knows exactly which spot the scanner is at.

How to use the Parking Spot QR Generator

One code per spot

The whole point of a per-spot code is that the driver never types a spot number. The code carries it, so the pay or extend flow opens with the right spot already selected. That removes the most common parking error, paying for the wrong bay, and it removes the queue at the machine. Generate one code per spot, and check each printed label against the bay it is fixed to before the car park opens.

Labels that survive a car park

Car parks are harsh: damp, dusty, dim, and occasionally sunlit. Print labels on weatherproof stock, laminate them, and fix them at a height drivers can reach without stepping into traffic. Print the spot number big in plain text above the code, so a driver can read it even if the code is damaged. Test every label at night under the car park lights, because that is when most drivers will use it.

The report action

The report action is the one operators forget and drivers need most: a broken machine, a blocked bay, a light out, a car parked across two spots. Make sure the report flow on your parking page asks for as little as possible, ideally one tap and a short note, and that reports reach someone who acts on them. A report button that goes nowhere is worse than no report button at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the QR code actually contain?

It contains your parking page URL with two query parameters added: spot, carrying the spot number, and action, carrying pay, extend, or report. The payload is shown verbatim on this page so you can check it before printing.

Does the code need my parking page to support the parameters?

Yes. Your parking page must read the spot and action parameters and pre-select that spot and action. If it ignores them, the code still opens the page, but the driver has to pick the spot by hand.

How big should the spot label be?

Big enough to read from the driver's seat: the spot number in large plain text, the QR code at least 3 to 4 cm wide, and both at a height reachable without stepping into traffic. Test under the car park lights at night.

What if a label is damaged or replaced?

The spot number in plain text above the code is the fallback, so a driver can still pay by typing it. Keep a spare printed label for every bay, and check labels on a regular walk-through.
