Payment via MIR electronic certificates
Some products can now be paid via MIR electronic certificates, fully or partially. Usually these are products the purchase of which is subsidized by the government: full catalog here
How the MIR electronic certificate works
The MIR electronic certificate is issued for the purchase of a certain item. Technically it's a record in the government register linked to the MIR card number: it contains information on the amount the holder of this card can spend and on the type of item (or group of items) they can spend it on.
For the customer
The payment process is similar to that of a simple bank card: customer selects the item at the store and pays for it with the MIR card. Money are debited not from the card account, but from the electronic certificate.
If the cost of the item is larger than the denomination of the electronic certificate, the missing amount will be debited from the card account (for the seller, it will be displayed as a single payment of a single amount).
For the seller
Payments via MIR electronic certificates have a different fiscalization process.
All receipts connected to the payment (payment receipt, refund receipt, correction receipt) must be sent not just to the Tax Service, but also to NSPK, the National system of payment cards (operator of the MIR payment system).
How to send receipt details to the NSPK
It depends on the method you used for sending the receipt to the Tax Service: automatically via YooMoney or independently via an online sales register.
Automatically via YooMoney
If you have set up an online sales register, and receipt details are sent there automatically after each payment, YooMoney will re-send them to the NSPK every time when that's required.
Sometimes, your participation might be required:
  • Receipt details for some reason haven't been sent to the online sales register: you will need to send them again to NSPK.
  • You've issued a receipt independently via the profile of the online sales register (without YooMoney's participation): you will need to manually enter the receipt details into the form in the YooMoney Merchant Profile.
How to send the details again
If receipt details for some reason do not reach the online sales register, they also won't be sent to the NSPK, in which case a notification will be sent to the email address specified in the Online sales register section. You will need to send them again:
  1. Find the required payment in the Payment history and click on it to open the Transaction history:
  2. Find the required line and click on Change and send again to open the receipt details.
    They can be edited if necessary, but usually there's no need for that.
  3. Click Send details. In case of success, you will see a message.
Independently
You've issued a receipt independently via the profile of the online sales register (without YooMoney's participation): you will need to manually enter the receipt details into the form in the YooMoney Merchant Profile. This must be done for every payment via the MIR electronic certificate.
  1. Find the required payment in the Payment history (El. certificate payment method, which you can find below the payment amount) and click on it,
  2. After the Transaction history is opened, click on the Send details button.
  3. A form will be opened in which you will need to enter the receipt details (you can copy them from the profile of your online sales register).
  4. After entering, click Send details. In case of success, you will see a message.
