Services · Ecommerce development · EV charging booking sites
We provide EV charging booking website development Manchester property owners, venues and employers rely on to sell charging by the slot. Codeeo builds the online system where apartment residents reserve a shared charger, airport and match day drivers pay for a bay in advance, and staff at office and campus sites book under fair use rules. Availability comes from your chargers, payment runs through a UK acquirer, and refunds follow rules you set.
Greater Manchester spreads across ten boroughs, so most clients run sites in more than one of them. The platform treats each location as its own place with its own rules, prices and opening times. We work with Manchester clients remotely and hold every workshop and review by video call.

Booking and payment features
Demand for chargers in Manchester swings with the city's routine. Apartment car parks in Ancoats, Castlefield and Salford Quays fill every evening. Bays near the Etihad Campus, Co-op Live and Old Trafford are empty for days and then oversubscribed for a few hours. Airport car parks see drivers leaving for a week who want to come back to a charged car. Office sites at Spinningfields and MediaCityUK fill by nine in the morning.
A booking platform has to cope with all of that without asking your team to rewrite rules every week. The features below are the building blocks; we choose and configure them around your own estate.
Each location, whether in Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Stockport or another borough, gets its own opening times, slot lengths, tariffs and access instructions. A central admin lets you copy a proven setup to a new site and change only what differs, so adding a car park does not mean starting again.
New sites go live with tested rules from day one.
Build to rent and residential blocks often have far fewer chargers than flats. Residents book evening or overnight windows, weekly caps keep access fair, and energy is billed to the apartment that used it, by card or through an export your property team adds to rent statements.
Residents stop competing for the same few bays.
For dates you mark in the admin, booking opens earlier, deposits apply and maximum session lengths shorten so more drivers get a share. Football at the Etihad or Old Trafford and big nights at Co-op Live or the AO Arena each get their own settings, which switch back automatically afterwards.
Peak days run on rules, not on a queue at the entrance.
Car parks serving Manchester Airport can sell charging alongside a parking booking, timed so the car is charged before the driver returns. The full price, parking and charging together, is shown before payment, and changes to flight dates move both parts of the booking.
Travellers come home to a charged car and a clear receipt.
Employers and universities can limit booking to staff or students with verified email domains, set daily limits, and allow visitors to book separately. Charges can go to a card or be reported for payroll arrangements you manage, with pool cars given priority windows.
Chargers at work are shared by policy, not by who arrives first.
Prices in pence per kWh can vary by hour, so overnight bookings cost less than early evening ones when the grid and your site supply are busiest. The booking page always shows the price for the chosen slot before payment, so there is no surprise on the receipt.
Demand spreads across the day and peaks ease.
A pre-authorisation is placed at booking and the true amount is captured when the charger reports the energy delivered. Strong Customer Authentication runs at the right moment, and terms the driver accepted cover any overstay charge taken afterwards.
Drivers pay for what they used and nothing they did not agree to.
Drivers get a reminder before their slot and a link to say they are running late. If nobody plugs in within the grace period, the bay is released to the next person and any deposit is handled as your published terms say.
Fewer reserved bays sit empty at busy times.
The booking flow meets WCAG 2.2 AA, works with screen readers and larger text, and lets drivers filter for bays with step free access and space around the vehicle, described using the categories in PAS 1899. That supports your duties under the Equality Act.
Disabled drivers can find and book a bay that works for them.
Each session ends with a receipt listing the site, bay, times, energy, unit price and VAT, and business users can request a VAT invoice in their company name. Finance exports group income by site, borough and tariff, so landlords, venues and estates teams can reconcile charging income against their own accounts without manual sorting.
Month end reconciliation takes minutes, not a day of spreadsheets.
Who we build for
Booking is worth building where chargers are shared by a known group, where demand comes in spikes, or where charging is bought alongside something else. Public rapid chargers used by passing drivers generally do not need it. In Manchester the clearest cases are residential blocks, venues and their surrounding car parks, the airport area and large workplaces. If your site does not fit, we will say so during discovery and suggest something lighter. Most of our Manchester conversations start with one of the four below and grow from there.
The city centre and Salford have seen a large number of rental apartment schemes, many with car parks equipped for charging. Residents want fair access and landlords want energy costs recovered accurately. A booking platform with resident sign up, caps, waiting lists and per apartment billing handles both, and usage reports show when a building needs more chargers. Tenancy changes update access without manual work.
Fair access and per apartment billing.
Car parks around the Etihad Campus, Old Trafford and the arenas see a handful of very busy days. Selling charging in advance on those days, with deposits and short sessions, turns a source of complaints into a product drivers plan around. The rest of the week, the same bays can be booked by local workers or residents under different settings.
Event pricing and normal weekday use from one system.
Travellers leaving cars at or near Manchester Airport for several days want them charged on return without paying to block a charger all week. Booking a charging window near the return date, then moving the car or scheduling the session, fits that need. Price display, cancellation terms and flight changes are handled together so customers are not chasing two bookings. Customers can also add charging to an existing parking booking without starting again.
Charging timed to the return trip.
Large employers at Spinningfields, MediaCityUK and around Oxford Road, along with university and healthcare sites, usually have more electric drivers than chargers. Staff verification, daily limits, visitor booking and pool car priority give each group a fair share. Reports by department or cost centre let estates teams decide where to install next.

Engagement
Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and is rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews. Our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi; we have no office in Manchester. Clients in the city work with us remotely, with discovery, design reviews, testing and training all by video call. Physical checks at your car parks during the pilot are carried out by your staff using test plans we write together, which keeps the knowledge of how the system behaves inside your organisation. After launch, support continues remotely under terms we agree in writing before the build starts.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We build the platform on a current web framework with a booking engine, a payments layer through a UK acquirer that supports holds, captures and refunds, and an API connection to your charge point management system. Hosting choices take UK GDPR into account, and consent for analytics follows PECR. Pages are kept light so they load quickly on mobile data.

It rests on how many sites, user groups and integrations you start with.
One apartment block or one car park with card payments is a short project. A platform covering several boroughs, event day rules, resident billing exports and an airport parking integration is longer. The readiness of your charge point management system's API matters a great deal. We agree the plan after discovery and set out each stage with what we need from your side, so delays are visible early rather than at launch.
