What you should know after buying a vignette
Basic information
A vignette is a proof of payment for toll roads in a selected country. After purchase, a PDF file is sent to you - you can print it out or show it on your phone screen during the check. There is no need to place it behind the vehicle window.
The vignette contains the details of the vehicle and its period of validity.
The purchase of a vignette is possible:
Vignettes are available for the following countries:
Orders are processed daily between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. In the case of overnight purchases, the vignette will be posted after 7:00 a.m. Vignettes with an expiry date of "today" can be purchased from 7:00 a.m. Austria is an exception - here processing takes place around the clock.
Vignettes for Austria purchased via Autopay do not have an 18-day grace period. They can be purchased with an effective date of 'today' and activation is usually within 15 minutes of payment. If required, it is also possible to edit or return the vignette - see the editing rules section for details.
Vignette checks are carried out automatically - cameras and road patrols scan the licence plate and check the validity of the vignette. Manual checks are also possible, in which case you must present an electronic or paper vignette.
How do I buy a vignette via the Autopay app?
Purchasing a vignette through the Autopay app is available to users of the plans Mobility Basici Mobility Firmwho use a payment card or Blik recurring payments as a payment method.
If the option to purchase vignettes is not visible, it is worth checking that the latest version of the app is installed.
To buy a vignette on the Autopay app:
Once payment has been credited, the vignette will be sent to your email address and will appear in the app - usually within about 15 minutes (between 7am and 11pm, except for Austrian vignettes, which are processed 24 hours a day).
Important:check all data carefully before confirming payment - once purchased, it cannot be edited or returned (except for the vignette for Austria). Do not enter the toll route until the vignette has been delivered by email or appears in the app.
The registration number must be entered according to the registration certificate or plates - without spaces, using letters and numbers. For German and Austrian plates, the characters allowed are: A-Z, Ä, Ö, Ü, 0-9. If the number plate ends with the letter "E" (electric vehicles) or "H" (historic vehicles), this should only be entered if it actually appears on the plate.
How to buy a vignette via market.autopay.pl or winiety-online.pl ?
The vignette can also be purchased via market.autopay.plor winiety-online.pl.
Enough is enough:
The registration number should match the registration certificate or plates - no spaces, using letters and numbers. For German and Austrian plates, the characters allowed are: A-Z, Ä, Ö, Ü, 0-9. If the number plate ends with the letter "E" (electric vehicles) or "H" (historic vehicles), this should only be entered if it actually appears on the plate.
You can add any number of vignettes for different countries. You will then need to provide an email address and telephone number - this will allow you to download the vignette yourself if it does not arrive in your email inbox.
Payment can be made via BLIK, card, online transfer or electronic wallets (Google Pay / Apple Pay).
➡️ Once an order is placed, two emails are sent to market.autopay.pl:

Problems with payment and ordering
➡️ Payment problems
After purchasing a vignette via the app or the marketplace website, two emails are sent:
If you are unsure whether a transaction has been completed correctly, it is worth checking the status of the payment and the recipient of the transaction - a helpful tool can be found at here (check transaction status).
Note: The status of the transaction can only be checked for payments made via the Autopay S.A. payment gateway.
If for some reason your purchase has been interrupted and the money has not been debited from your account or is not in your bank's pending transactions, you can make a new purchase.
The most common reasons for payment rejection:
If you need to change your payment method, you can use the link in the email regarding the start of the transaction. If you do not receive an email - it is best to place a new order.
➡️ No e-mail
If the purchase was made from market.autopay.pl, it can be downloaded from market.autopay.co.uk/download/vignette - provided that a telephone number was provided at the time of purchase.
If the purchase was made on vignettes-online.co.uk, the My Vignettes function is available on vignettes-online.com/my-vignettes, which allows you to check the status of your order and download the finished documents.
The most common reason for missing messages is that they end up in the SPAM folder or another tab in the mailbox. It is worth checking all folders.
Possible other causes:
If you have paid by SMS on the vignette-online website, wait up to 30 minutes - in the message there is a link to download the vignette. If not - contact us with your order number, e-mail address, date of purchase, vehicle registration number.
➡️ Incomplete order
All vignettes should be delivered together. If part of the order is missing:
➡️ No button to download vignettes
If there is no button for downloading the vignette on the order fulfilment page, this could mean that: the vignette is still under processing (e.g. due to a country-specific system failure). The document will be completed once processing is complete.
It is advisable to wait 15 minutes and refresh the page. If the problem persists - contact support.
➡️ Error on vignette
In the event of errors in the vignette data (e.g. registration number or travel date), the editing options depend on the country. Detailed rules are described in section: Editing and return
Additional tolls in Austria (FLEX)
In Austria, in addition to the standard vignette, there are additional tolls for selected bridges and tunnels. These can be paid in two ways: automatically via the 'Austria - Tunnels and Bridges (FLEX)' service or by purchasing individual section tickets.
FLEX is a service available on the Autopay app that allows the automatic charging of tolls for driving specific sections - without having to stop at the toll gates. The toll is charged as soon as you have driven a particular section and collected from the connected card. If you already have a valid toll for a particular registration number, FLEX will not charge the toll again, eliminating the risk of double charging.
With FLEX you can use the green lanes for cars and avoid queues. In the case of motorbikes and vehicles with trailers, there may be difficulties in automatically recognising the plates - in which case another lane or the assistance of an attendant must be used. The system is particularly convenient on the A9 motorway, where a modern barrier-free system is in operation.
An alternative to the FLEX is stretch tickets. The ticket is assigned to your registration number and is valid for 365 days from the date of purchase. You can choose a one-way or two-way journey. A stretch ticket is a good option for those who do not want to use an app or prefer to pay in advance.
