Limits
Limits on payments
All payment methods have limits on the minimum and maximum payment amount. There are additional limits for some payments: for example, on the total amount of payments over 24 hours or a month. If the limits are exceeded, payments won’t go through.
Payment term
In YooMoney, each payment must be made within a limited time period. If a user hasn’t confirmed a payment before this period has expired, YooMoney will cancel the payment, expired_on_confirmation will be displayed as the reason behind the cancellation. To allow the user to pay, you need to create a new payment .
In case of a payment via banking apps or other external payment systems, an invoice from YooMoney is issued to the user. If there is still time for a payment in this system, but it has already expired in YooMoney, the money will be debited, but the payment won’t go through. The money will be instantly returned to the user.
