Hi I found this on RAC website https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/travel/country/portugal/
hopefully it may help you.
Tolls in PortugalLike many other European countries, Portugal has motorways with tolls. You can pay for them with cash or a credit card, although some motorways only accept electronic payment.
Most motorways accept a payment system known as Via Verde, which sees users attach a magnetic card to their vehicle’s windscreen which automatically works at toll booths.
There is also a system called Easy Toll in place, which is often easier for visiting motorists. Here, motorists enter their card details at the border point and have a photo of their registration plates taken. The system will then deduct toll payment every time the registered vehicle passes a toll booth.

Anne
I use Bip & Go.
An electronic tag, can be used in France, Spain and Portugal. Billed direct to your account.
Very useful, no stopping at the booths.

You can drive all the way to Portugal with no tolls if you take the A7 from Murcia , just follow your nose .. When you get to the border , keep to the right and drive into a bay which scans your registration , you then place your credit/debit card in a machine to scan it , all done from your drivers seat ..you are now done .
The system works by your car being scanned by overhead gantries on the network , you are automatically billed the following month , you can of course take the national roads which are toll free .......!!!!!!!
Also no need to pay a third party to do something you can do in a few seconds ...there are NO paybooths .
