Charging APIs for Parking Software
Your product already manages the bay, the booking and the payment. Charging arriving in it should extend what you have rather than sit beside it as a second system your users have to notice. We build the interface that makes that possible, shaped to your product.
What parking platforms usually need from charging, how we design and build the interface around your product, and what the integration work looks like with our team alongside yours.

What parking platforms usually need
- 1
One answer about whether a bay is free
A bay occupied by a car that is not charging is not available, and a charger that says otherwise turns into a complaint. Your product should be the one that answers, with charging feeding it.
- 2
One booking, not two
A driver reserving a charging bay in your app should not then be asked to reserve it again somewhere else.
- 3
One payment
Parking and charging on a single transaction, settled between the parties afterwards. Being charged twice for one stay is the thing drivers actually complain about.
- 4
Charging state inside your own interface
Progress, completion, what it cost, presented as part of your product rather than as a link out of it.
- 5
Enough to enforce on
Knowing a vehicle finished charging forty minutes ago is what makes an idle policy possible at all.
The driver stays yours throughout. Charging is a capability inside your product, not a second relationship competing with it.
How we build it
- 1
We start from your product
How it already models bays, bookings and payments. The interface is designed to fit that, rather than making you translate between two models on every call.
- 2
We build to your requirement
What charging exposes, what can be acted on, and what your users see, decided against what you are actually building.
- 3
We integrate it with your team
Our software delivery centre works alongside your engineers through the integration rather than handing over a specification.
- 4
We handle the awkward cases explicitly
Sessions that outlast a booking, a bay occupied but not charging, a charge that fails after the parking payment has been taken. These are where the integration is decided.

Frequently asked questions
Can charging appear inside our own app?
Yes, and that is the point of building the interface rather than bolting on a separate one. The driver stays your customer and charging becomes a capability inside your product.
Can we take one payment for parking and charging?
Yes, with settlement between the parties handled afterwards. Being charged twice for one stay is the thing drivers actually complain about, so it is worth designing for at the start.
How do we keep availability honest?
By having one system answer the question, fed by both. A bay occupied by a car that is not charging is not available, and a charger reporting otherwise becomes a complaint.
Who does the integration work?
Our software delivery centre, working alongside your engineers, designing to how your product already models bays, bookings and payments.
How do we start?
Tell us how your product models a bay and a booking, and what you want a driver to be able to do. That is usually enough to scope the interface.
Chargers arriving in bays your product already manages?
Tell us how your product models a bay and a booking. We will come back with what the interface looks like and what the integration involves.
