Validations
Validations your tenants run themselves and abusers can't game.
Give every tenant a branded self-service portal. Set time limits and usage caps per tenant. And because Mitte sits on the payment layer, you can do what no other validation tool can: backdate to arrival, extend a stay, or refund and validate — across every payment app you use.
01 — Problem → Shift
Every leak a stamp leaves — closed.
Validation tools bolt a code beside your payment systems. Mitte puts validation on the payment itself. Leak by leak, here's the difference:
The leak
The copied validation QR
One tenant's code hits a WhatsApp group and half the neighborhood parks free. Your tool finds out at month-end — if at all.
Mitte's answer →
QR codes you can kill
Every validation is tracked per tenant, per use. Leaked code? Regenerate it in one click — the copy dies instantly.
The leak
The citation gap
Parks at 2:00, validated at 3:15. Tools that can't see the LPR arrival start it at 3:15 — the gap becomes a wrongful citation.
Mitte's answer →
Backdated to arrival
Mitte reads the LPR arrival and applies the validation from the moment the car parked. The gap — and its disputes — disappears.
The leak
The double-payment dead end
The customer already paid on their app. The tenant validates. Eat the charge? Refund by hand? Tools outside the payment have no answer.
Mitte's answer →
Extend or refund
Extend the stay on top of what they paid, or refund it and apply the validation. Clean for the customer, clean for your books.
The leak
The blind ledger
Who validated how much, for whom, this month? Scattered across stamps, plate lists and five vendor portals — you can't bill what you can't see.
Mitte's answer →
One system, one ledger
Every validation across every payment vendor lands on a single ledger — bill each tenant for exactly what they used.
02 — See it live
We didn't build a better stamp. We built validation into the payment.
Because Mitte sits on your payment apps and LPR, one validation system spans every vendor — and a leaked code dies the instant you regenerate it.

03 — The loop
Two sides of one system.
You configure the program once. The driver uses it in seconds. The rest of this page walks both sides — here's the whole loop in three moves.
You configure it
Add each tenant and set the rules once: validation types, time limits, monthly caps, branded portal.
The driver validates
On their phone via QR, or the tenant's tablet: plate, pick a validation, done. Ten seconds, no training.
Mitte synchronizes payment and enforcement
Validations automatically apply between tenant rules and enforcement, so eligible parking sessions are validated and refunded.
04 — For the operator
Configure all your tenants and validation rules from a one screen
This is move one. Set what a validation can include, watch every one on a single login, brand each tenant's portal, and let known plates through automatically — all from the same place.
05 — For the visitor
For the driver, it's ten seconds.
Move two. They scan the QR on their phone — or use the tenant's tablet — enter a plate, pick a validation, and they're covered. Then a link lets them track time and extend.

The visitor validates themselves — scan, plate, done
After validating — they track time and extend from a link
06 — Every case
Give time, or give money back.
A validation is either free parking (time) or money back (a refund on what they already paid). Mitte reads the session and applies it the right way — every case.
Free parking — give time
Money back — refund
Case 1 - No paid parking
Free parking
Arrived at 12:00 with nothing purchased. A 2-hour validation covers the whole stay at no cost.
2 free hours - covered 12:00 to 2:00 PM
Case 2 - Post-payment validation
Money back
Arrived at 12:00, paid for 2 hours. Validates at 1:00 with a 2-hour validation — the paid period is covered.
$4.00 refunded
07 — One real day
A Saturday at Riverside Commons.
A mixed-use property with 40+ tenants and three payment apps. Here's one validated stay, end to end.
2:04 PM
Customer parks
The LPR camera reads plate GTR 4088 at the gate.
3:15 PM
Café validates
Copper Kettle staff scan the ticket in their portal — 10 seconds, no phone call.
INSTANTLY
Backdated to arrival
Mitte applies it from 2:04 PM — the 71-minute gap never becomes a citation.
SAME SECOND
Enforcement updated
Mitte instantly syncs the validation with enforcement, preventing an unnecessary citation.
MONTH-END
Billed exactly
Every validation is on one ledger — the property bills Copper Kettle for exactly what they used.

"The current workaround is clunky, especially in multi-vendor environments… actively being explored."
— A validation-only tool's own product roadmap, on validating already-paid sessions.
Their roadmap is our shipped product.
Objections
The questions operators actually ask.
"We already use a validation tool."
Ask it three questions: Does it know when the car actually arrived? Can it touch what the customer already paid — extend or refund? Can it kill a leaked code instantly? If not, you have a digital stamp. Mitte is built on the payment and LPR layer — a difference in kind, not degree.
"We already validate through our payment app."
That works for one app. The moment you accept two or more vendors — or customers pre-pay on any of them — per-vendor validation breaks: codes don't cross apps, and paid sessions can't be validated without the clunky refund dance. Mitte validates above the vendors.
"Our tenants won't learn a new system."
There's nothing to learn. Each tenant gets a branded portal; staff scan and go. If they can use a phone camera, they're trained.
"What does it cost?"
Validations start at $99 per location/month; Advanced Tenant Management (validations + permits) is $199. No per-validation transaction fees — a busy tenant month costs the same as a quiet one.
"What if it doesn't work for our property?"
That's what the pilot is for: 60 days, all features, no cost. You keep the data; we take the risk.
