Instant payments for public charging.
Built for drivers and charging operators
A QR-based payments platform with PCI-grade security, flexible tariffs, and clear session-level reporting for operators and drivers.
For operators
A payment layer that centralizes compliance, pricing controls, and payout operations.
PCI Level 1 certified
Transactions are processed under PCI Service Provider Level 1 compliance.
Dynamic pricing controls
Set time-of-day, day-of-week, or event-based pricing rules.
Payouts handled
Faraday can act as Merchant of Record and settle revenue to you net of platform fees, or you can stay the seller of record and keep your own payment provider. Which applies is set per market.
Driver support
Checkout support is handled by our customer care team.
Settlement that matches the session
Pay App sessions settle at the charger the moment they end. Fleet and RFID sessions on the same network can be invoiced instead, or left unbilled.
One ledger for every session
Guest payments, fleet charging and staff sessions land in the same session records, so a site reconciles in one place rather than three.
For drivers
A fast and transparent checkout flow from authorization through receipt delivery.
Scan to start
Pay App is launched with a QR scan so drivers can start a session in seconds.
Flexible payment options
Pay by credit or debit card, or use Apple Pay and Google Pay where the driver's device and browser support them.
Real-time session view
Live status, charging speed, energy delivered, and final cost.
Connector clarity
See connector availability, speed, and pricing before you authorize.
You set the ceiling
Choose how much to authorize before charging starts. Charging stops short of the hold so there is headroom for any idle time — the hold is not the energy you have bought.
Receipt to your inbox
The itemised receipt goes to the email address you enter at checkout. No account needed, and the address is remembered for next time.
Authorize before charging. Capture what was actually used.

Pay App questions
- Do drivers need to download an app to pay?
- No. Pay App is launched with a QR scan at the charger, so drivers can start a session in seconds without installing an app or registering an account.
- Which payment methods does Pay App accept?
- Drivers pay by credit or debit card. Apple Pay and Google Pay are available where the driver's device and browser support them.
- Is Pay App PCI compliant?
- Yes. Transactions are processed under PCI Service Provider Level 1 compliance.
- Who is the merchant of record for driver payments?
- Faraday can act as Merchant of Record. Faraday collects payments from drivers and pays out revenue to the operator net of platform fees.
- Who supports drivers during checkout?
- Checkout support is handled by the Faraday customer care team, not by the site operator.
- Is the driver charged the amount held on their card?
- No. The hold covers the session limit, but only the metered amount is captured when the session ends. Drivers pay for the energy and time they actually used.
- What is a driver charged if a session delivers no energy?
- Sessions that deliver no meaningful energy are not billed. The authorization is released rather than captured.
