Is anyone selling/marketing something in Russia ?

21 replies
Hello! I'm developing a product for the Russian market and all other Russian speaking countries.

If someone already did something similar please share what is the best local payment system out there equivalent to PayPal, but just for russian language or at lease Russia.

Thank you.

      I see this webmoney is also for Spanish, Portuguese, and Turkish.

      Do you know something special for Russia only. Something local that is most commonly used.

      I'm from Bulgaria and we have an payment system like PayPal however only for Bulgaria. I guess there should be something the same for Russia and Ukraine too.

        As we told you already, WebMoney is the most popular e-money system in Russia.

    Russia has historically been difficult for western webmasters to monetize. I don't know if it's a matter of cultural differences (the marketing may not resonate with them) or if Russians do not buy online at the rate Americans and Europeans do.

    Webmoney is our most trusted and popular payment system in Ukraine as well as in Russia. Yandex dengi and Liquepay are also often used. For better results you should provide a bunch of payment options for customers to choose from. People in Ukraine and Russia are active buying online though not as much as in Western countries. However it depends on the niche, even if the product is in high demand offline here it could be impossible to sell online. They always prefer to dig deeper and find the best deal. Reputation of the company matters everything, they don't buy from small shops. They're very cautious. Auctions are highly popular here. Folks love them.

      Thanks I know what you mean it is almost the same here in Bulgaria. here I've provided multiple options for payment including cash on demand after delivered product. (30% of the customers pay that way). However it will be more difficult for me to do so in Russia and Ukraine since delivery will be more expensive from BG to there.

      In general I sell ebooks (info products) dating advices more specifically . And yes for delivery and Cash on Demand I mean I send them a CD with burned inside PDF file of the ebook.

    Besides Webmoney, Yandex Money is even more popular online payment system in Russia.
    While Webmoney is mostly used by Russian webmasters, Yandex Money is popular among end customers.
    And finally, PayPal will work with rubles and Russian bank since September 2013: Akado Oy – PayPal to Use Roubles and Link Russian Bank Accounts
    So there will be fully function accounts like in US and Europe.
