Overview

Merchants have the opportunity to subsidize paid parking through Passport’s validation system. This promotes awareness of mobile pay for parking. Merchants can sign up and manage their accounts at passportinc.com/validation. Merchants have the ability to load a balance onto the validation system, setup automatic balance recharges, create validation types of name and dollar amount, and get real-time reporting of validation activity.

 Check out our Merchant Validations Guide for detailed information
