FAQ · Going to Russia · Part 2
Have users, but still cannot sell in Russia? Run payment, delivery and settlement end to end
If Russian traffic, enquiries or users already exist, the next question is practical: can one order move from payment to digital delivery, refund readiness, reconciliation and settlement?

The sequence is not payment access first and product preparation later. Prepare the product, entity, transaction and compliance facts; apply and pass review; then enable the confirmed capabilities and launch under the agreed scope.
1. Is the product suitable for review?
Assess the specific offer, not Russia in the abstract. AI tools, SaaS, games, digital content, APIs and virtual goods have different delivery and risk characteristics.
- • Accessible website, demo or documentation
- • Actual functions, digital entitlement and user journey
- • Business operator, ownership and operating entity
- • Pricing, terms, refund policy and support route
- • Target locations, expected ticket size and billing model
2. Which payment method do users actually need?
Clarify buyer location, one-time or recurring billing, displayed and charged currency, ticket size and the fallback after failure.
NineLogix currently assigns SBP and Russian Bank Card only for approved one-time RUB cases. T-Pay, YooMoney, SberPay and Russian subscriptions are not presented as available capabilities.
3. Does pricing explain the purchase?
State the entitlement, billing period, renewal status, cancellation route, refund conditions and delivery timing. Core pricing and policy information should be understandable to a Russian-speaking buyer.
4. Can delivery be proved?
Link the order to account activation, licence, credits, API quota, game items, download or content access. A MoR can coordinate transaction operations, but product delivery, support and evidence remain important partner responsibilities.
5. Are refund and dispute workflows defined?
A refund is an intentional return under policy; a chargeback or dispute is raised through a financial institution and requires transaction and fulfilment evidence.
- • Where buyers request a refund
- • Eligible and excluded cases
- • When service ends after cancellation
- • Treatment of consumed credits or content
- • Who supplies order and delivery evidence
- • How costs and responsibilities follow the agreement
6. Is settlement included in the margin model?
Payment success is not reconciliation, settlement or payout. Model service and payment-method fees, actual refund and dispute cost, FX impact, payout and banking-path fees, and other agreed items.
Confirm transaction and settlement currencies, destination eligibility, cycle, threshold and FX. The current approved path uses one-time RUB orders with a USD settlement basis; Store-specific terms remain subject to review and agreement.
7. Can the product, parties and transaction pass screening?
Russia-related cross-border activity requires applicable party, transaction, financial-institution and sanctions screening. A route around restrictions is not a market strategy.
- • Restricted sectors or content
- • Operator, owner and transaction-party screening
- • Buyer location and payment source
- • Detection and review of unusual activity
- • Auditable order, support, refund and delivery records
8. Are you ready for a small controlled validation?
After approval, start with one product, audience and price. Track payment conversion, digital delivery, support questions, refund or dispute causes and actual net settlement before scaling acquisition.
