The main limits
YooKassa sets three types of limits: per transaction, per day, per month. Sizes depend on status (self-employed / IP / legal entity) and verification level.
| Limit | Self-employed | IP |
|---|---|---|
| Single payment | up to 60,000 RUB | up to 600,000 RUB |
| Per day (incoming) | 200,000 RUB | 5,000,000 RUB |
| Per month (turnover) | 2.4M RUB (NPD cap) | per tariff |
| Per year | 2.4M RUB (NPD cap) | 450M RUB (USN cap) |

If a donation exceeds the per-payment limit
YooKassa rejects a payment over 60,000 RUB (self-employed) or 600,000 RUB (IP). The donor sees an error on the payment page. Fixes:
- Self-employed - move to IP (see IP registration)
- IP - request a limit increase from YooKassa support (with justification)
- Alternative - crypto donations have no per-payment cap

If you approach the NPD cap
When the yearly turnover approaches 2.4M RUB - re-register as IP in advance. Dropping self-employed and registering IP are separate steps:
- Register IP via Gosklyuch
- On that IP, switch to USN 6% (application is filed with the registration)
- In YooKassa - change receiver type via support (needs a new contract)
If you exceed without re-registering, NPD drops automatically and the YooKassa shop **immediately stops accepting payments**. Donations will fail until you complete the IP setup.

Average-ticket limits
If your donations are usually small (30-300 RUB) and suddenly a big one arrives (50,000 RUB) - YooKassa compliance might ask for docs explaining the operation. Not a block, just a request:
- Screenshot of your chat with the donor (if you know them)
- Link to the stream recording where the donation arrived
- Description of the context

Requesting a limit raise
For IP, limits can be raised. In the YooKassa dashboard → Support → New request → Limit increase. Attach:
- Bank statement for the last 3 months
- USN declaration for the previous year (if any)
- Justification - how much and why
Review takes 3-7 days.
Tip for big donations
Add crypto donations as a complement - there's no per-payment cap and large amounts (50-500k RUB) pass without extra questions. See the Crypto category guides (coming soon).
