## What is PayTix?

What is PayTix®? 
PayTix® has partnered with cities across the US to enable users to pay for parking tickets in a safe and secure mobile environment without any added usage fee other than a member cities convenience fees (if applicable).  PayTix® has direct connections to member cities parking systems and is a partner of the cities listed in our supported city list. 

Key Features:
o	Simple, quick ticket payment process
o	Quick and easy ticket bar code scanning for fast ticket number searches
o	Ticket Payment reminders and alerts
o	Fast and Safe payment gateway
o	Manage and maintain a ticket list of your ticket history

No App Usage Fee Commitment: 
PayTix® is FREE!  We feel adding app "usage fees" on top of what you pay for a parking ticket is unfair and burdensome to you, the "public", and we are totally committed to keeping PayTix® FREE.  We do not charge a "usage fee" to download the PayTix® app.  Please note, some member cities may apply a "convenience" or "service" fee to transactions to cover the cost of providing services to the public.

Why use PayTix®? 
Since PayTix® is fully supported by member cities you can be assured that your payment is handled with the same security safe guards that are available to you on our member cities payment websites.  We do not store your credit card data (anywhere) and we are fully PCI DSS compliant.  When you pay for your parking tickets with PayTix™, you are paying with the same service that processes payments for the member cities today. PayTix® has native interfaces to our member cities systems. 

How To Use PayTix®?:
Simply pick the city that you got your parking ticket in and either scan the ticket number bar code on the ticket or manually enter the ticket number into PayTix® and press the Submit button.  PayTix® will then guide you through the ticket payment process in 4 easy steps.  If your ticket is not in the city's parking system yet, don't worry, PayTix® will setup simple reminders and a "Ticket List" for you to check your tickets availability.

### 1/5 — Needs redesign and rebuild

*2026-06-09, version 2.04.0*

This app is terrible. There’s no excuse for it to be this ugly and buggy. I miss TicketZen! Do better.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-06-04, version 2.04.0*

Basically forcing u to download an app to pay a meter. G-a-y app.

### 1/5 — i wish i could give zero stars.

*2026-05-10, version 2.04.0*

booof ah ! 

how can i pay my tix ????!? this app trash 🚮🗑️

### 1/5 — Just use a website this is tiring

*2026-05-09, version 2.04.0*

Look at Title

### 1/5 — Truly Awful

*2026-05-05, version 2.04.0*

This app appears to have been developed using a cross-platform environment from long, long ago. Many of the text input boxes have to be filled in blind as the keyboard overlays the text box. The user interface does not fill the screen. There is no provision for the use of Apple Pay, which had been around for over a decade. To add insult to injury, I had to pay $2 for the privilege of using this amateur app.

### 1/5 — Salt in the wound

*2026-04-15, version 2.04.0*

Just awful top to bottom

### 1/5 — No customer service response

*2026-02-28, version 2.03.9*

I have been trying to contact them for over a week and no response. DO NOT USE THIS APP. It’s an unreliable way to pay.

### 1/5 — F this app

*2026-02-28, version 2.03.9*

Keeps taking my money

### 1/5 — Genuinely the worst app I’ve used

*2026-02-22, version 2.03.9*

If I’m going to enter my credit or debit card info into an app, there isn’t a much sketchier seeming app out there. Here are a few notable issues:
- Displays “error processing payment” even though payment is successful
- Searching the ticket by Violation # doesn’t always work
- Scanning and searching the barcode requires a series of presses of buttons and literally any developer in the last 10 years should be able to do this automatically
- I have no idea who actually keeps this app up and who now has my credit card info…it sure doesn’t seem government-run or very secure in any way
- Still uses the keyboard icons from much earlier Apple devices (circa 2012)
- Hasn’t seen any updates to core functionality in probably 8 years
- “Convenience fee” in 2026 for paying tickets online is the most asinine thing I’ve heard of, considering I am literally making less work for everyone by paying online (no human interaction required, payment comes directly from my card)… Online transactions should be fee-free at this point

Overall I just don’t understand the choice of this app as a legal way to pay tickets. Doesn’t seem legitimate at all, even though somehow many cities use is as the primary form of online ticket payment.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-02-15, version 2.03.9*

I have no experience creating apps but am sure a YouTube tutorial would help me build a better app than this. It’s $2 to pay by card. App doesn’t give a bank account option, doesn’t tell you if the transaction was denied, won’t let you pay multiple tickets at once. You can’t save your payment method. The barcode scanner does not work. You click “scan”, app does nothing
