Gated access · Paid access mode

Paid access to a site — the money goes to you, no platform fee

The site becomes a product: a visitor sees a storefront with the price and perks, enters their email, confirms it with a code and pays — through your own acquiring. The money goes straight to your T-Kassa terminal or YooKassa shop: Tuqo never touches the payment and takes no percentage of it.

In the panel, it's the Visibility tab on the site page.

How to turn it on

1

Add the seller, documents and product

Seller details (name, taxpayer ID (INN), email — buyers see them before paying) and at least one document for buyers (an offer or terms). Without them the storefront stays closed: visitors see “Sales aren't open yet”, although the mode itself can be turned on earlier. Then the name, description, price and model: a one-time payment for lifetime access, or access for a period.

2

Connect your acquiring

T-Kassa (T-Bank) or YooKassa. The test terminal keys go into the panel, and the notification URL from the panel goes into the provider's dashboard. Another provider? We connect it within 72 hours.

3

Run a test payment

A checklist in the panel walks you through it: keys ✓ → notification received ✓ → test payment passed ✓. No money is charged in test mode.

4

Switch to live mode

Live keys and the Live mode switch — and the storefront is selling. The Paid access mode itself can be turned on in the Visibility tab at any time, once you confirm that receipts are issued on your side. A sales window and a seat limit are optional.

When it fits. When your materials are worth money: a paid course, a handbook, a knowledge base, a private archive. Paid access runs on Russian acquiring: you need your own merchant agreement with T-Kassa (T-Bank) or YooKassa, and prices are set in rubles. With that in place, the rest takes an evening.

What the visitor sees

The site address doesn't change — only what a person without a pass sees does.

Opens the link

Sees the storefront: your logo and description, the price, up to three perks and a “Sign in and pay” button. Optionally, a button with more details about the product.

Enters email and code

Confirms the address with a code from an email and accepts your documents. No password; returning sign-ins use a code too.

Pays on the bank's page

The button leads to your provider's payment form. After payment, they return to the site: access opens on the bank's confirmation, and the page waits for it by itself.

How people use it

A paid course

Lessons, recordings and materials as a structured site. Pay for a period: a month of access, renewed with the same button, with the days added to the paid term.

A handbook or guide

One-time payment, lifetime access. The storefront with perks does the selling; a seat limit and a sales window create scarcity honestly.

An expert's private archive

A library of reviews and templates at a subscription price. Money lands in your account directly — no platform fee and no third-party storefront.

Early access to a product

Sales until the launch date: after the sales window the storefront closes, and buyers keep access for the term they paid for.

Other modes and guides

Paid access: frequently asked questions

What fee does Tuqo take from sales? +

None. Money goes straight to your acquiring agreement; Tuqo doesn't touch payments. You pay a flat price — the Pro plan or the Paid access add-on at 499 ₽/mo — however much you sell.

What do I need to accept payments? +

Your own acquiring agreement: T-Kassa (T-Bank) or YooKassa. You enter the terminal keys in the panel and the notification URL from the panel in the provider's dashboard, run a test payment with the checklist and switch to live mode. Need another provider? We connect it within 72 hours of receiving access.

Who issues receipts? +

Your cash register. Fiscal receipts under Russian law (54-FZ) are on your side — usually an online cash register connected to the provider's terminal. Tuqo passes the receipt data (buyer's email, item name, amount, VAT rate and tax system from your settings), and the provider's register issues the receipt. You confirm this explicitly when you turn the mode on.

How does access for a period work? +

You set the number of days. After payment, access is open until that date; renewing with the same button adds days to the end of the paid term, so paying early costs nothing. When the term ends, the buyer sees a renewal screen.

What happens on a refund? +

Access closes automatically when the provider sends a refund notification. You make the refund itself in your provider's dashboard — Tuqo has no access to the money. For refunds that bypass notifications, the panel has a Revoke access button.

Can I test everything without real money first? +

Yes, that is what the test terminal is for: payments go through every step, are marked as test payments, no money is charged, and the storefront shows a “test” badge. The checklist in the panel shows what has been verified.

What does a buyer see after paying? +

The whole site, as a member. They can sign in again at any time with a code sent to their email; the account page shows the access term. The “access granted” email comes in your site's name.

Which plan do I need? +

The Pro plan or higher. On lower plans, use the Paid access add-on at 499 ₽/mo per site; it includes Member sign-up.

A site only your people can see

Paid access: Pro plan or 499 ₽/mo add-on. Your own login screen, every file protected, no server to run.
