Integration scenarios
Manual integration:
Overview
Electronic certificate is a way to purchase certain types of products, works, and services (TRU) intended for those who receive social support from the state. For example, an electronic certificate can be used to purchase technical rehabilitation equipment.
An electronic certificate is a record in the digital registry of the State Information System of Electronic Certificates (GIS of ES). It contains information about products, works, and services that can be purchased using this certificate, as well as the limit amount and validity period of the certificate, and other details. This record is linked to the "Mir" card issued by any Russian bank.
Using an electronic certificate, its owner may purchase products or pay for a part of their cost in stores. The money can only be spent on the product or service specified in the certificate.
To process payments and refunds, the use of certificates should be pre-approved by the Electronic Certificates Front Office of the National Payment Card System (NSPK's FES).
How it works
Preparation
Specify a list of products (TRU) that can be purchased by electronic certificates in your system. Each product should be assigned a special code (full product code consistent with the list of products, works, and services (TRU)).
Payment processing
When user makes a purchase, they create a shopping cart. It may contain products that can be purchased using certificates, and other products that need to be purchased by card. You create a shopping cart (according to the NSPK's FES) and select only those products that can be paid by certificate.
Creating a shopping cart
When user pays for products, they enter details of the "Mir" card linked to the certificate. This card and the list of products from the shopping cart shall be submitted to the NSPK's FES. You can do it independently or via YooMoney: process depends on your integration option.
The NSPK's FES authorizes the shopping cart by noting the products and their amount that can be reimbursed with the certificate.
Authorizing a shopping cart in the NSPK's FES
Then YooMoney processes the payment: authorized amount is debited from certificate and remaining amount is debited from bank card.
Making a payment
Refund processing
Full and partial refunds are available. You can make a refund for both products purchased by electronic certificate and products purchased by card.
Specifics of refunds
- If products were paid by certificate, you can only return funds to the same certificate.
- If products were paid partly by certificate and partly by bank card, money is first returned to the certificate, and if everything was fine, the rest of the amount is returned to the card. If something went wrong when you make a refund to the certificate, the whole transaction is canceled. To complete the refund, you need to complete it again.
- If you need to make a refund for those products that were paid by bank card, you can return money to the same card. But the returned amount shall not exceed the amount of extra payment. Otherwise, refund won't go through.
The funds debited from electronic certificate can only be returned to the same certificate. Any other methods violate the laws of the Russian Federation.
Specifics of refunds
Refund processing time
Refund processing time for electronic certificate depends on the GIS of ES. The certificate will be valid again when the transaction has been processed in the system. It takes about 1 to 3 days. If money isn't returned within this time, the user should contact the authority that issued the electronic certificate.
If the payment was made by bank card, the debiting term depends on the issuer. Money is usually returned within 3 days.
Sending receipts to the Tax Office
When you process payments made by electronic certificates, details of the created receipts shall be sent not only to the Tax Office but also to the NSPK. This applies to all receipts: payment receipts, refund payment receipts, correction receipts, etc.
How to send receipts to the NSPK
The procedure depends on the way you create receipts: via YooMoney or independently:
- If you submit your receipt details via YooMoney, they will be sent to the NSPK automatically. Check your Merchant Profile to make sure that the receipt was delivered to the NSPK. If something went wrong, resend the details in your Merchant Profile.
- If you submit your receipt details independently (not via YooMoney), send the created receipt details using your Merchant Profile. Make sure that the receipt was delivered to the NSPK. If something went wrong, resend the details.
You can submit your receipt details and check the delivery status only in the payment history of your Merchant Profile.
