Planet Boosts Its Mobile SDK With Electronic DCC to Enable Smarter, More Transparent International Parking Payments

Planet, a global leader in integrated payment solutions, has today announced the launch of Electronic Dynamic Currency Conversion (eDCC) within its Mobile Software Development Kit (SDK) for parking operators.

This new capability delivers a frictionless, familiar and more convenient payment experience for international drivers as they can now choose to pay for their parking using the currency of their card directly within the app.

The enhancement is especially timely as Europe prepares for the expected surge in cross-border travel this summer. With more drivers from abroad expected on the roads, parking operators using Planet’s Mobile SDK can now offer all the convenience of eDCC, elevating customer satisfaction and reducing payment confusion.

Planet’s Mobile SDK is a market-leading, award-winning solution that enables operators to quickly integrate advanced payment functionality into their existing iOS and Android apps.

It offers deep customisation, a unified technical payment integration for different payment methods, secure in-app payments, a one-click checkout, and now, with eDCC, a new layer of international flexibility.

Key Benefits:

• Home-from-home experience: International drivers can now pay in their card’s currency, with real-time conversion and transparent pricing displayed at the point of payment.
• Seamless integration: Planet’s Mobile SDK connects effortlessly with major parking software providers, making setup and deployment fast and simple.
• Scalable, recognised innovation: Recently shortlisted at the Retail Systems Awards, the Mobile SDK is built to scale, supporting both operational growth and customer-centric experiences.

“Adding eDCC to our already best-in-class Mobile SDK makes it even easier for our customers in the parking industry to scale their business and deliver smooth end-customer experiences”, said Aleksander Leicht, SVP Developing Markets at Planet.

“Allowing drivers to pay in their card’s currency empowers operators to deliver great customer experiences – turning payments into a point of convenience, not complexity.”

With this update, Planet continues to lead the way in innovative, customer-first payment solutions that drive real business growth for parking operators around the world.
