Cashless payments: application. What is a non-cash form of payment? Pay a bill by bank transfer

Non-cash payments are a special type of payments that do not use cash. All payments are made by transferring funds from account to account in credit institutions or, for example, by offsetting mutual claims. Initially, they were introduced to facilitate and accelerate capital turnover, as well as to reduce the amount of cash. The circulation costs associated with cash also decreased. Government institutions also promote non-cash payments for the reasons listed above (increasing the speed of cash turnover plus saving on their maintenance).

Cashless payments and payments

The very first non-cash settlements and payments were settlements and payments using checks and bills. Afterwards, clearing houses were introduced - organizations that carry out transactions between different banks. Then, in most developed countries, giro payments spread as a subtype of non-cash payments (through giro banks, commercial banks, savings banks).

Non-cash payment transactions are the main type of banking operations. There are collection, transfer, and letter of credit operations.

Non-cash payments and payments are regulated by law. In Russia, this is the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (from Article 861 to Article 885), the Federal Law “On the Central Bank of the Russian Federation”. The federal law “On Banks and Banking Activities” and other regulations also apply.

What is cashless payment?

A non-cash payment is considered to be a settlement using non-cash money circulation (in non-cash form - that is, in the form of an entry on the corresponding account). Non-cash payment is carried out according to several principles:

• in the legal field,
• on bank accounts,
• in accordance with liquidity at the level of uninterrupted payments,
• voluntarily (with the consent of the payer),
• at a certain time,
• with control over the correctness of calculations according to the order in which they are performed,
• on contractual terms.

The full definition and all conditions for making such payments are indicated in the current Regulations on non-cash payments (approved by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation).

Types of non-cash payments

Initially, non-cash payments were made in the form of bills or checks. Today they apply

• payment orders and order requirements,
• checks, letters of credit,
• collection orders,
• electronic payments.

A detailed list of settlements (payments) is indicated in the corresponding document of the Bank of Russia dated June 19, 2012. Regulation No. 383-P “On the rules for transferring funds” specifies all types of non-cash payments, except the last one (electronic), however, the Federal Law of June 27, 2011 No. 161, as amended on July 23, 2013, also applies - “On National payment system." According to this document, electronic payments (using electronic money) have also become a form of non-cash payments.

Refund of non-cash payment

By law, it is permissible for clients served by a bank to revoke their payment documents. However, in practice, returning a non-cash payment entails a whole series of procedures.

1. If the money was transferred incorrectly, the transaction was carried out and the funds were credited, the return of money via non-cash payment is made in court. At the same time, it is important to prove that no services were provided (when funds were credited to the company’s account).
2. If a return is required by a store customer returning an item, then several options are possible: transfer of the required amount by the seller to the buyer by non-cash method (for example, return transfer to a card) or in cash.

Attention. Often, companies operating in the trade sector enter into an agreement with the bank that services the terminals about the possibility of returning funds for non-cash payments.

From the client in whose favor a refund is to be made, a current account number, bank name and correspondent account number, INN and BIC of the recipient, and his full name are usually required.

Payment by bank transfer

Payment by bank transfer can be made in several ways: using

• payment order or demand,
• letter of credit,
• collection order,
• check (checkbook).

Payment by bank transfer is carried out in the form of a transfer of funds from the sender’s account to the recipient’s account, which can be in this or another bank. At the same time, a payment order is the most frequently used form of payment.

A payment request means a request from the recipient to the payer to pay a certain amount. Used for the convenience of non-cash payment for goods and services. The payer must provide acceptance (agree to pay the amount) or refuse - then the claim is returned without fulfillment.

Collection orders are issued by government agencies based on a court decision.

A letter of credit is an obligation to make a payment upon presentation by the recipient of certain documents (acts, delivery documents).

Accepting non-cash payments

Non-cash payments are accepted in several ways: either by crediting to the organization’s account through a bank, or through a terminal (cash register, bank pinpad). In addition, today organizations are trying to automate the transfer of funds as much as possible in order to eliminate errors and the “human factor”. The commission for non-cash payments, in contrast to payment systems that charge up to 5%, is 0%. To accept non-cash payments, organizations solve several problems:

Preparation of invoices and contracts (optional),

Control of funds transfer,

Preparation of closing documents.

To accept payments, you need the organization's INN, current account number, BIC of the servicing payer bank, legal and postal address.

Problems of non-cash payments

The main problems of non-cash payments are:

• the difficulty of establishing a settlement and payment system,
• risks arising in connection with payments,
• the presence of non-payments (their changes affect the budget deficit),
• speed of payments (including taking into account failures and delays, errors made by both senders and recipients of funds, and the payment centers themselves),
• priority of payments and its regulation, causing damage to other creditors,
• insufficient development of the regulatory framework for making non-cash payments (for bills of exchange and letters of credit).

In addition, enterprises are responsible for compliance with loan agreements, as well as established payment discipline. If an organization does not fulfill its payment obligations, it may be declared insolvent.

Accounting for non-cash payments

When making payments between organizations in the form of non-cash payments (by transferring from account to account), there is a need to account for non-cash payments using special payment documents. They are the basis for calculation and can be issued in the form of an order:

• payer (this can be either a client or the bank itself),
• recipient of funds, or claimant.

Enterprises themselves determine the appropriate forms of documents for recording non-cash payments; only the presence of details is required -

• name of the enterprise,
• document number,
• name of the paying bank, MFO, RCC, current account number,
• name of the recipient, recipient bank, its details.

Accounting for such transactions is carried out using account 51 “Current accounts” (both receipts on debit and disposals on this account).

The basis or primary document for accounting is a bank statement or payment order. This is true for different types of payments:

• receipt of money in payment for services or goods,
• depositing cash into a current account,
• receiving advance funds,
• receipt of the authorized capital,
• payment of bills from suppliers, contractors,

transfers to the budget of mandatory payments, contributions to the Pension Fund and other organizations (FSS, FFOMS, TFOMS).

In the modern world there are many payments for services and goods. Let's talk about this and figure out what payment systems exist.

Let's define the terminology

So what is a payment system? This is a set of organizational actions, forms, procedures that improve the monetary circulation system. In essence, this is a huge number of contractual relations, rules, methods that enable absolutely all participants to carry out financial transactions and pay each other.

What challenges do payment systems face?

Payment systems perform a number of tasks:

1. Safety and efficient operation.
2. Reliability, which guarantees the absence of any disruptions in the operation of payment systems.
3. Process workflows quickly and cost-effectively.
4. An honest approach that meets all the necessary criteria.

In general, for any such system the main function is to ensure dynamic economic turnover.

The individual elements of payment systems are very closely related to each other. Their relationship is carried out according to certain rules that are included in state regulations. The work of the Russian payment system is built on legal documents, thanks to which its functioning occurs. They regulate a set of procedures that are necessary for the operation of this structure and the transfer of funds from one counterparty to another.

The procedures of the payment system include forms of non-cash payments, norms of payment documents and all means used for communication (software, Internet, telephone lines, hardware).

Elements of payment systems

Payment systems consist of the following elements:

1. Organizations carrying out money transfers, repayment of financial obligations.
2. Monetary instruments and systems that ensure the transfer of funds between counterparties.
3. Contractual relations regulating the correct and clear procedure for non-cash payments.

All elements are very closely interconnected, their interaction occurs according to certain rules, enshrined in legal documents. Compliance with them is mandatory for absolutely all participants.

Types of payments

According to Article 140 of the Civil Code of Russia, payments within the country are made both in cash and non-cash. We can say that they are all divided into two types. Let's talk about them in more detail.

The cash payment system involves paying for goods and services from hand to hand. In everyday life, each of us faces this.

Payment by bank transfer occurs without the presence of cash; instead, funds are deposited into a current account or electronic wallet.

What are the payment methods in cash?

So, there are several ways to pay with real money. Let's list them:

1. "Cash" at the box office, through couriers or by transferring funds from the customer to the contractor.
2. Using self-service terminals Qiwi, Cyberplat, Eleksnet and many others. A person selects the service he needs on the screen and deposits banknotes into the bill acceptor. Almost all services and even loans are paid in such terminals.
3. In ATMs that have a cash acceptance function. Again, the desired operation is selected, the purpose of the payment is indicated, and the bills are entered.
4. Payment in banks or at the post office. Most people of retirement age prefer there. To do this, you only need to provide or simply provide the recipient’s details, and also give the money to the cashier.
5. Another popular payment method in the country is transfers (for example, using the companies “Zolotaya Korona”, “Leader”). To apply for them, you just need to come to the selected branch, provide the recipient’s details and deposit money.

Payment by bank transfer

Non-cash payments can be contact and contactless. Let's look at their features in more detail.

1. Payments using bank cards with a magnetic stripe are the most popular option at present. However, these began to gradually replace more secure cards with a chip. To make a purchase, you just need to insert it into the terminal or swipe it through a reader. Then the person just has to enter his PIN code, and the money will leave his account. That's all, the goods have been paid for.

2. Payment using MasterCard or Visa. This is a very common type of contactless payment for purchases. To pay, you just need to bring your card to the terminal, and the goods will be automatically paid for without specifying a PIN code. Of course, this type of calculation is very convenient. The only drawback is that the payment amount for one purchase cannot be more than a thousand rubles. It turns out that if you want to purchase a product worth, for example, two thousand, then you won’t be able to pay using a contactless method. You will have to insert the card into the terminal and still enter the PIN code. By the way, we note that not all stores have the appropriate devices.

3. There is also the option to pay using your card details. This is also a contactless method. It is most often used to pay for online purchases. How is the transaction carried out? You need to enter the required card details in the fields. This could be, for example, a last name, a security code. After filling out the details, you will still need to confirm the operation itself. After this, the funds will be debited from your account.

4. Payments by electronic money using Internet wallets "Yandex.Money", Kiwi, Webmoney. To pay for purchases and services, you need to open a personal wallet of any payment systems and make a payment or transfer funds using the company details.

5. Payment via mobile phones with NFS technology. To be honest, this contactless method is not yet very popular in Russia. The technology allows you to pay by holding your mobile phone to a special reading machine. To be able to use this service, you need to buy a SIM card that supports NFS technology, and also install another antenna in your phone. After this, payments can be made with one touch by placing the mobile phone on the terminal. The funds will be debited from your smartphone account. And although in the Russian Federation, as already mentioned, the use of such technology is not yet very widespread, at the moment it is still possible to pay using this method in the Moscow metro.

6. using Internet banking. This is also a method of non-cash payment for services and purchases. To use it, you need to go to Internet banking, find the correct category, enter the details and select the account for withdrawal. The operation is confirmed by entering the code.

All over the world, the most popular payment systems are still non-cash transactions. In their favor is not only the convenience and speed of their implementation, but also complete safety at relatively low cost.

Which type of payment is more profitable?

Of course, the electronic payment system is the most beneficial and convenient, no matter how you look at it. It makes it possible to make purchases very quickly and simplifies the entire payment process. Moreover, costs are reduced. Let's give a simple example when buyers and sellers are in different regions. There is no way to do this without using cashless payments. However, despite all the visible benefits, it can only be implemented if one has a certain level of technology, culture, and education. Historically, cash came first. There were no non-cash payments before, and there could not have been. The level of development of society and technology simply did not allow this.

Today, cash payments are typical only for more backward countries. Expert research suggests that in the future, non-cash payment systems will replace cash payments.

Why do we need a payment system?

The need to pay by bank transfer at one time led to the emergence of a system of settlements between banks with each other, since payers and recipients were serviced by different financial organizations. In Russia, the Russian Federation payment system was developed for transfers between banks. Each country organizes its own structures to ensure safe and fast circulation of funds within the state. Together they form international payment systems. Thanks to this, trade relations are possible between different countries, sometimes located on different continents.

Instead of an afterword

Currently, the economy of any country is a huge branched network of relations of a large number of constituent entities. The basis of all relationships, oddly enough, are various calculations and payments, which would be impossible without a clear organization of the payment system.

Cashless payment is one of the most convenient payment options; This is their high speed and the almost complete absence of regulatory restrictions in making payments.

Therefore, many companies choose non-cash payments for their purposes, minimizing cash handling.

Moreover, payments through credit organizations are a cheaper option compared to payments through banknotes and coins.

What is non-cash payment?

First of all, this payment format is available to everyone - legal entities, entrepreneurs and ordinary citizens. Non-cash payments are made only through banking and other credit structures that are authorized to carry out banking operations.

In general, non-cash payments are settlements that are realized through the movement of funds through accounts belonging to participants in such settlements.

In fact, funds are debited and credited electronically. At the end of the working day, the account owner is provided with an account statement, which reflects the balance at the beginning and end of the day, as well as all incoming and outgoing transactions. This allows you to control cash flows.

Non-cash payments are regulated in the Russian Federation two main regulations:

• The Civil Code of the Russian Federation - its Chapter 46 “Calculations” sets out the basic provisions on all permitted forms of non-cash circulation;
• Regulations on the rules for transferring funds No. 383-P, which was approved on June 19, 2012. Bank of Russia. This document provides a more detailed description of non-cash forms of payment, as well as requirements for payment documents. This Regulation does not contradict the norms of civil law.

In addition, there is another regulatory act that was approved by the Bank of Russia - the Regulation on the issuance of payment cards dated December 24, 2004. No. 266-P. This document reveals the procedure for acquiring – payments using payment cards for goods and services. Acquiring is a unique form of non-cash payments, which is available primarily to ordinary citizens.

On the basis of these three documents, non-cash circulation is organized and controlled, which is increasingly replacing cash circulation. And there are reasons for this:

• settlements through bank accounts rarely depend on the time of the transaction (i.e., time of day) and geography;
• non-cash payments are much cheaper to service than cash payments;
• in addition, for organizations it is more preferable to make payments through, since such payments have much fewer requirements for registration, organization and accounting than for cash transactions. Therefore, many start-up companies, in order to save money and protect themselves from fines for errors in compliance and in application or non-use, are switching to non-cash payments. Large, experienced companies are also striving for this.

As for ordinary citizens, for them, non-cash payments are convenient, since it is enough to have a payment card to make a payment, and beneficial, because when paying with a card, fees for settlement services are often not charged.

But the state also benefits from the growth of non-cash payments; in particular, the circulation of the money supply is controlled, and a decrease in the amount of cash in circulation reduces the level of inflation.

Kinds. Their advantages and disadvantages

In legal nature there is several forms, in which non-cash payments are carried out.

Molds and tools

In accordance with Bank of the Russian Federation Regulation No. 383-P, these forms include:

• Settlements using a payment order. In this case, a document is drawn up that contains an instruction to the bank, at the expense of the payer’s funds, to transfer the amount specified in the payment document. The transfer is carried out within the time frame and to the person specified in the order. This translation option is considered one of the simplest and most traditional. Valid for 10 days, which does not include the day the document was drawn up. This payment format is available even to an ordinary citizen who does not have a current account. The inconvenience of settlements through payment orders is that if an error is made in the document during execution, it can cause a significant delay in payment or its sending to the wrong recipient of funds;
• Payments via letter of credit. In fact, this is a special account that is used only for settlements on transactions that require the intermediation of the bank. In other words, a letter of credit is an order from the payer to the bank to transfer funds to the recipient only if the latter complies with special conditions, for example, delivery of goods, provision of documents and other conditions. The effect of a letter of credit can be described in simple terms as follows: the buyer opens a letter of credit in his bank and transfers there the cost of his purchase, but the supplier will be able to receive these funds provided that the goods are delivered and the accompanying documents are transferred to the bank where the letter of credit was opened. And then the bank transfers funds. The convenience of this form of payment lies in the security of the transaction. But the disadvantage of a letter of credit is its high cost, its isolation from the bank account agreement (the letter of credit is opened separately), the participation of several parties in the transfer of funds: the buyer and the supplier, the issuing bank (it opens the letter of credit) and the executing bank (it executes the letter of credit) . By the way, often one bank can be both the executor and the issuer;
• Settlements through collection orders or collection. Their specificity is that such calculations are possible only if the claimant (recipient) has the rights to make claims against the debtor’s (payer) account. These rights may be provided for by law or by an agreement concluded between the account holder (debtor) and the bank. Collection is inherently demanding. Those. In order to collect the required amount, the recipient of the funds must provide the bank holding the payer's account with the necessary information about the debtor and his obligation. Also, the collection order is not inherently of a notification nature. The debtor often finds out about the write-off only after the money has been withdrawn from him. And this can make it difficult for the debtor to carry out other banking operations due to a lack of funds in the account;
• Payments through checkbooks. This option can be conditionally called cash-non-cash, since it involves debiting funds from the drawer’s account to the check holder’s account or issuing cash to him. Moreover, settlement of checks is carried out only on the condition that the drawer has a sufficient amount of money in his account and after confirming the identity of the bearer of the check and the authenticity of the check itself;
• Payments in the form of direct debit. In this case, the transfer of money is made at the request of the recipient. To perform this transfer, the operator who will perform the settlement operation must have an agreement with the payer and his acceptance (consent) to carry out such an operation. Such calculations are carried out within the framework of the national payment system of Russia and in the presence of a payment card. The cardholder's acceptance of the debiting of funds from the card must be enshrined in an agreement or other document that supplements the agreement;
• Payments in the form of electronic money transfer. As part of this type of non-cash payments, an individual (citizen) provides the operator with funds for conducting transactions, both from his personal bank account or without it, and from the accounts of organizations and entrepreneurs that provide funds in favor of this citizen. But this is only possible if the agreement between the individual and the operator provides for such a right. As for entrepreneurs and organizations, they can only use funds from their bank accounts.
  The last two types of non-cash payments are regulated by the law “On the National Payment System” dated June 27, 2011. No. 161-FZ.

The advantages of non-cash payments are described in the following video:

Principles of non-cash payments

Cashless payment system based on the following principles:

Based on these principles, not only the construction of a non-cash payment system is carried out, but also their implementation.

Order of conduct

Any non-cash payments are carried out only if you have an account opened under a bank account agreement. However, the current legislation of the Russian Federation provides for the possibility of conducting non-cash transactions without the payer opening a current account. But this is only possible when making payments by ordinary citizens whose transfers of funds are not related to business activities.

To conduct non-cash payments, an account can be opened either in a bank or in another credit institution that has a license from the Bank of Russia to carry out such operations.

To make non-cash transfers payers can open:

All these accounts can be opened in rubles and in foreign currencies.

Accounting Rules

To record non-cash transactions, organizations use account 51 “Current accounts”, where analytics are built for each current account opened by the organization. All transactions are reflected on the basis, for example, on the basis of payment orders, collection orders, etc. And to reflect transactions on special accounts, organizations use account 55 “Special bank accounts” with analytics on letters of credit, deposits, check books, and other similar forms of non-cash payments.

Entrepreneurs do not use it, but they record income and expense transactions on a bank account in their books of income and expenses. And based on the register data, the calculation is carried out. They also use payment orders or collection orders, memorial orders, etc. as confirmation of non-cash transactions.

As for ordinary citizens, they can receive statements from their accounts to control their funds.

Responsibility for violation of settlement relations

Punishment for such violations is provided for in Chapter 15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Moreover, both account holders and credit institutions are punished.

For example:

• In case of violation of work with a special account, payment agents may be charged from 40 to 50 thousand rubles;
• if the bank violated the deadline for transferring funds to the budget from the taxpayer’s account, then up to 5 thousand rubles will be collected from the bank official.

The history of occurrence and basic principles of these types of calculations are described in the following video lecture:

The global financial system is constantly improving. The main priority of banks and legal entities is the security and speed of transactions. Because of this trend, non-cash funds have become very popular. What is a non-cash payment and what are the methods for making it?

What is cashless payment

The presented payment format is implemented by money transfers through bank accounts without the use of paper currency and coins. It can be used by legal entities, individuals and entrepreneurs. The concept of non-cash payments implies the use of payment cards, bills and checks to carry out transactions. The transfer of payments occurs between the parties to the property relationship or with the help of an additional entity represented by a credit institution.

Essence

Organizing financial transactions using this type of payment is beneficial to banks and the state, because allows you to avoid a sharp increase in treatment delays. The essence of non-cash payments is the implementation of payments by transferring currency to accounts intended to replace cash. By using a non-cash form of payment at an enterprise, you can get rid of cash registers and comply with the rules for their use.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of this payment method is its flexibility. Non-cash money can be stored in special accounts for an unlimited time. Bank documents can be connected to the transaction at any time. They establish and confirm the fact of the transaction. Enterprises that use non-cash payments are freed from the need to constantly transfer money to the bank.

The main disadvantage of the method is its dependence on the bank. A non-cash transfer cannot be carried out if the holder of the funds has problems with their turnover. Owners of regular and special accounts will have to pay the bank a commission for transactions performed. The pros and cons of non-cash payments compensate each other, making this payment method the most convenient in the realities of our time.

Forms of non-cash payments

The characteristics, structure, and meaning of payment transactions are determined by their type. Depending on the variety, they can be used by enterprises and individuals. In the Russian financial system, the following forms of non-cash payments are distinguished:

• transfers using payment requests and orders;
• letter of credit payments;
• payments through check books;
• collection settlements;
• payments by electronic money transfer;
• money transfers by direct debit.

Types of non-cash payments

Payments of this type are classified according to various criteria. Depending on the economic nature, remittances are needed to pay for non-commodity transactions and to purchase goods or services. Payments can be intra-republican and interstate. Funds transferred within the state are divided depending on the region and locality. The following types of non-cash payments are also distinguished:

• guaranteed, in which the collateral is the funds reserved in the budget account;
• non-guaranteed;
• transfers with instant debiting of funds from the account;
• payments with deferred transfer of money.

Methods

Payment documents represent legally formalized demands, instructions and orders for the transfer of funds for the receipt of goods, services, and works. They can be implemented in the form of collection orders, bank transfers, letters of credit. Depending on the type of payment document, contact and contactless methods of non-cash payments are distinguished. These include:

• payments using a bank card through POS terminals;
• transferring money from cards using Pay Wave/PayPass technology;
• payments using card details, often used to pay for services via the Internet and purchase goods in stores;
• sending money through online wallet systems (QIWI, WebMoney, Skrill, etc.), where special terminals or transfers from bank cards are used to top up the balance;
• Internet banking services offered to users of Sberbank and other financial organizations;
• payments using NFS technology via smartphone.

Cashless payment system

It is based on bank accounts with settlement documents. The non-cash payment system must work as quickly as possible in order to quickly execute payment orders, open accounts for new clients, and maintain a continuous flow of funds. If economic authorities come to an agreement, then payments can be made bypassing the bank.

Principles of organization

The presented payment method is one of the important tools for the development of the country's market economy. It is voluntary in nature, allowing you to transfer and receive wages, savings from deposits and other income without visiting financial institutions. Continuity of money transfers is ensured by the principles on which the organization of non-cash payments is based:

1. Enterprises and organizations participating in operations themselves choose their form, regardless of the scope of their activities.
2. The client's rights to manage funds are not limited.
3. Transactions are implemented on a first-come, first-served basis.
4. Payments are transferred from account to account if funds are available.

Implementation principles

Compliance by business firms and banks with established rules ensures that this type of payment meets modern requirements such as reliability, efficiency, and speed of transactions. For this purpose, principles for implementing wire transfers were developed. The procedure for making non-cash payments is determined by the following principles:

• The principle of acceptance. Without obtaining the consent or notification of the cash account holder, funds cannot be debited. This rule even applies to requests from government agencies.
• The principle of freedom of choice. Payment participants can conduct transactions in any form convenient for them. Financial organizations cannot influence the choice of non-cash payment methods.
• The principle of legality. All operations must be carried out within the framework of current legislation and regulated by it.
• The principle of urgency of payment. Any transfer of funds must be carried out within the time frame established by the payer. If they were violated, then sanctions fall on the bank.

These principles not only lie in making payments without withdrawing currency, but also in their implementation. The payer's current account must always have the required amount of funds to carry out transactions. All transactions are always carried out on the basis of an agreement between the bank and the account holder. You can go beyond the scope of the agreement only if a new contract is concluded with the client.

Rules for non-cash payments

Financial law regulates all monetary transactions between entrepreneurs, individuals and legal entities, shops, and other institutions. For these purposes, rules for non-cash payments were developed, the main one of which states that money should be debited from the client’s account only by his order. Payment documents used for transactions must contain:

• TIN of the account owner;
• name and account number of the credit institution;
• name of the payer's bank;
• account number and BIC of the transfer recipient.

Payment by bank transfer

Money transfer is carried out using one of the methods listed above. The correspondent account reflects the details of the sender and recipient of the funds, the amount of the transfer and the name of the paid service or product. Therefore, if the seller does not fulfill his obligations, the non-cash payment will be returned to the buyer with the exception of the banking system commission.

Refund to buyer

The customer has the right to return or replace goods purchased in the store. Refunds to the buyer by bank transfer are carried out upon presentation of the product, receipt, warranty card, and identity documents. Scans of the listed documents must be sent to the store’s mail. The transfer of funds to a client may be refused in the following situations:

• the product is a food product and is of good quality;
• documents on the transfer of funds are lost;

Purchase returns

Products of inadequate quality must be sent by the client to the store warehouse. The return of goods by bank transfer is stipulated in the contract of each enterprise separately. The company can compensate for the costs of sending the goods if such a clause is included in its rules. Non-cash forms of payment involve the transfer of money to the buyer's current account immediately after sending the products back to the seller.
