Visitors pay a fee. It comes back here.
When you pay for parking or an entry fee, that money usually leaves town.
With Get It Back Here, it stays local.
You pay once and get money back to use for coffee, lunch, or souvenirs at nearby spots.
Why This Exists
The Problem
Paying fees feels like throwing money away. Locals dislike new fees. Visitors grumble about being charged for access. Towns avoid solving real problems because “nobody wants another fee.”
The Outcome
When a $10 parking fee comes with money you can use locally, the fee starts to feel worthwhile. Visitors get value, merchants see new customers, and communities keep the money circulating close to home.
The Solution
Get It Back Here connects fee collectors, merchants, and visitors through one simple system.
Fees come back to visitors as money they can use at local businesses within a few days. Frustration turns into connection.
For Fee Collectors
Imagine this:
Someone pulls into your lot, pays the $10 parking fee, and instead of leaving annoyed, they smile when they learn that some or all of that money comes back to them to spend at nearby local shops.
You still collect your fee. You choose how much comes back to visitors. Any portion that goes unused simply stays with you, just like unused gift cards today.
Now you are the good guy. You helped them discover the taqueria, the ice cream shop, or the kayak rental next door.
How It Works:
You keep your existing process and pricing. We handle the credits, redemptions, and reporting.
Visitors scan a QR code or receive a link by text to claim their credits.
You get transparency, better reviews, and goodwill.
For Merchants
Picture this:
A couple parks for the afternoon, then walks into your café because they have local money to use before it expires. They grab coffee, a sandwich, maybe something extra because it feels like found money.
Redeemable fees do more than bring visitors. They bring motivated customers ready to spend.
How It Works:
You accept payment like you always do. Shoppers pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay, using their local balance.
For Visitors
You’ve been there:
You finally find parking, pay the fee, and feel that sting of wasted money.
Now imagine this instead:
You pay the same $10, but some of it comes back as local money sent right to your phone.
You grab an espresso, rent a paddleboard, or pick up a snack for the kids using those credits.
The fee becomes part of your day instead of a frustration.
How It Works:
You pay a participating lot or venue, get a link or text with your credits, and spend them at local shops within a few days.
It’s quick, simple, and feels good.
Why It Matters
This is not just about payments. It is about keeping local money local.
When visitors spend credits, small businesses thrive.
When merchants see the benefit, they support the program.
When fee collectors use it, they stop being the bad guys.
Together, those small loops of spending help local businesses and make communities stronger.
