YooMoney key information at a glance 

Here are what payment methods YooMoney supports, the transaction fees it charges and business models you can use it for. 

What is YooMoney for? 

YooMoney, formerly known as Yandex.Checkout, is one of the most popular payment gateways in Russia, offering a wide array of payment methods and robust security features.

This integration will allow you to easily accept payments and provide a flexible payment experience for your students. 

Once you get a YooMoney account, you will be able to

• Accept and send money with electronic wallets and bank cards.
• Setting up recurring payments, like subscriptions.
• Use the website-building capabilities
• Send and receive documents online
• Use advertising subscriptions with YandexBusiness. 

Opportunities for platforms 

What is great about YooMoney is that it has Splits Payments functionality. So, if you have multiple authors and instructors within your online school, everyone can receive their share of the payment. 

The platform also has the Safe Deal functionality, which puts the money on hold for 3 months. So, if you also sell physical items, like guides and books, you get paid once your students receive them. This will reduce any disputes you can have with clients. 

Other key features of YooMoney include:

• Widgets to accept payments on your school website
• Paybacks to students without commissions
• Invoices for the tax office and customers

FAQ 

Does YooMoney have a mobile app? 

YooMoney does have a mobile app, but its availability is limited. The app is not available on the Google Play Store or the App Store due to restrictions. However, you can manually download and install the app from the YooMoney website for Android devices. For iOS, you can add a shortcut to the YooMoney website on your home screen to access its services, as the app itself is not available for download from the App Store.

FAQ 

How does YooMoney handle chargebacks?

This is how the chargeback process goes with YooMoney. 

When a user requests a chargeback, they send the request to the issuing bank. The bank reviews the details and determines whether to initiate the chargeback. If approved, the claim is forwarded to the payment system and then to the seller's bank, which in this case is YooMoney.

Once YooMoney receives the claim, they notify the seller so that they can dispute the chargeback together. Notifications about such claims are sent via email, so please ensure your active email address is listed in your Merchant Profile.

What should I do if my YooMoney account isn't connecting?

Verify your YooMoney account status and ensure you have entered the correct credentials. Contact Uteach support if the issue persists.
