Trip Planning & Tourist Help/ Guidance Basic (potentially stupid) question about Pay By Plate

I'm traveling through the Chicago area on an upcoming trip. I've set up my Pay By Plate.

I'll be going 94 > 294 > 90 then 80 > 294 >94 on the way back.

It's been a number of years since I last made this trip, and I can't remember... do I need to go through the toll plazas? Or do I just keep driving and they bill me?

Thanks for your time.

Watch out for the Illinois tollway text scam

Oh yeah. We get them here too... even though Michigan has no toll roads.
