No more than 5–7 days. Within this period, you must finalize the transaction (void or capture it); otherwise, you may receive a late presentment chargeback.

The funds are automatically released on the customer’s account. Chargebacks don’t apply to such transactions.

Holds are available for online card payments, as well as for T-Pay, SberPay, and Mir Pay. Holds aren’t available for payments via Russia’s Faster Payments System (SBP).

With a two-step payment (funds are held and then captured), you can confirm the capture via the API or in the merchant dashboard. If the merchant doesn’t finalize the payment, the issuing bank automatically cancels the authorization within 30 calendar days. The funds are then automatically released on the customer’s account.

No, there’s no fee for holding funds. Fees are charged on capture or refund transactions.

Yes. For example: you hold RUB 10,000 → capture RUB 8,000 → RUB 2,000 is returned to the customer.
