Los Angeles, California (May 28, 2026) — Orikan, the parking technology leader, today announced the U.S. launch of PayStay Marketplace, a revolutionary digital payment platform designed to simplify parking payments while unlocking new opportunities for municipalities, operators, and mobility partners. PayStay Marketplace brings together parking payments, and mobility-related services into a single, user-friendly interface. The platform allows drivers to pay for parking through an available app they may already have installed or check out as a guest completely account free.

The U.S. launch marks a significant expansion of Orikan’s digital parking ecosystem, aligning with growing demand for contactless, app-based parking experiences and more flexible curb and asset management tools.

“Parking is no longer solely about transactions at a meter or a gate, said Michael Kavur, Executive Vice President, Americas for Orikan. “It’s about creating a connected experience. PayStay Marketplace brings all aspects of parking and mobility together in one place, making it easier for drivers while giving operators better visibility and control.”

PayStay Marketplace serves as a central hub where users can access a wide range of parking options, from both on-street spaces to off-street facilities. The platform’s marketplace structure also allows for future integration with complementary mobility services, positioning it as a scalable solution for evolving urban transportation ecosystems.

Key features include:

• Pay-as-you-go:Unlike many apps that require a pre-set time, PayStay allows users to start a session when they arrive and extend a session if they require extra time, ensuring they always remain compliant.
• Payment Options:It supports major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
• Full brand control: The solution delivers a seamless, fully white-labeled experience to keep the municipality or university’s brand front and center, or it can carry the PayStay brand.

For operators and municipalities, the platform provides tools to manage pricing dynamically, promote underutilized assets, and communicate directly with users. By consolidating these functions into a single system, PayStay Marketplace reduces operational complexity while improving the customer experience.

The platform also seamlessly integrates with Orikan’s groundbreaking Metro LITE virtual meter, a lightweight, hardware-minimal alternative to traditional parking meters. When combined with PayStay, the virtual meter enables motorists to pay for parking instantly using Near Field Communication (NFC), Text to Pay or QR codes, with no requirement to download an app or create an account. This flexibility gives drivers access to all forms of payment, including all major credit cards.

The introduction of PayStay Marketplace comes at a time when cities and operators are rethinking how parking fits into broader mobility strategies. With increasing pressure on curb space and rising expectations for digital convenience, PayStay’s ability to unify access and payment makes it essential infrastructure.
