Yandex.Checkout offers a flexible and secure way to process payments, making it an ideal choice for businesses targeting Russian consumers. Follow these steps to integrate Yandex.Checkout into your application:

Step 1: Register with YooMoney

First, visit YooMoney for Business and sign up for a merchant account. You will need to provide your business details and go through a verification process to activate your account.
