How does WeValidate work?
There is no contract needed and participating scheme members can choose when and for how long they wish to participate. Once enrolled, they set up an account in a secure environment and upload funds to their virtual validation wallet via an online payment facility. The participant is then invited to download the ValiD validation app. The app has been developed for both Android and iOS and can be downloaded from Google Play or the App Store.
Once a retailer or leisure provider has enrolled, the ValiD platform can be used for promotional activities to advertise to consumers that they are part of the scheme, giving them an immediate competitive edge. They are then free to offer a range of validation options at their own discretion, for example free parking, discounted parking, or a proportion of their parking for free (e.g. the first hour). Consumers can even collect validations from participating stores they visit (e.g. collecting €1 off from each of three stores to get €3 off their parking that day).
