Frontend Parking Booking Process

• When users book parking from your website frontend, they follow a streamlined process. First, users select the Slot Type and input their desired Start Time and End Time for parking duration.

• On the next step, users fill out the booking form on the right side, which includes fields for Name, Email, Mobile Number, Vehicle Name, Vehicle Number, Location, and payment methods.
• Unlike company-side bookings, frontend bookings automatically store Check In and Check Out times along with duration calculation since users specify their parking timeframe during booking. The system provides various online payment options, and once payment is completed, the booking status automatically updates to “Paid” with only the delete option available in the actions column.

Payment Management

• The Payment section displays all payment transactions related to parking bookings in a comprehensive list format. You can view payment records through the main payment page without needing to create new entries, as payments are automatically generated when bookings are processed.

• Once a user or company makes a payment while booking parking for a vehicle, the payment record automatically appears in this section. You can track whether payments were made manually through the company system or online through various payment gateways, helping you maintain accurate financial records and monitor payment processing across different channels.

Contact Management

• The Contact section manages all inquiries submitted through your website’s contact form. You cannot create contacts manually as they are automatically generated when visitors submit the contact form on your website.
• The list page displays all contact submissions in a table with columns for No, Name, Email, Phone, Subject, Message (with a click icon to show the full message), and Created At. You can use the Search function to find specific contacts or the Export button to download contact data.
• The only action available is Delete, which allows you to remove contact entries from the system. All contact information comes directly from your website’s contact form, ensuring you receive and can manage all customer inquiries in one centralized location.
