Parking Kiosk Workflows

Walk‑Up Pay Station (Entry Ticket)

Driver takes parking ticket from entry gate
         ↓
At pay station, driver scans ticket barcode under XT206M3 scanner
         ↓
Scanner reads ticket code → kiosk displays: entry time, duration, amount due
         ↓
Driver selects payment method:
   - Option A: Insert cash / card (not scanner-related)
   - Option B: Scan payment QR from phone
         ↓
If Option B: Driver opens Alipay/WeChat Pay → payment QR appears on phone
         ↓
Driver holds phone under scanner → XT206M3 reads payment QR
         ↓
Payment processed → ticket validated (or gate pass printed)
         ↓
Driver uses validated ticket to exit gate

Exit Lane Kiosk (Ticketless / Plate‑Based)

Driver pulls up to exit gate
         ↓
System asks: "Scan QR code from app or insert parking ticket"
         ↓
Driver opens parking app → QR code appears on phone
         ↓
Driver holds phone under XT206M3 scanner at exit kiosk
         ↓
Scanner reads QR → system looks up plate, duration, amount
         ↓
Payment deducted automatically (or driver scans payment QR)
         ↓
Gate opens
