YooKassa: introduction to setting up and connecting the payment gateway to the bot

- YooKassa accepts from self-employed individuals.

To connect a payment method via YooKassa (formerly known as Yandex.Checkout), you will need to complete several steps. Please note that the process may change, so it is recommended to check the latest information on the official YooKassa website. As of 2023, the process looks roughly like this:
1. Registration in YooKassa:
- Go to the official YooKassa website and start the registration process by choosing the service package that suits you.
- Fill out the merchant questionnaire, providing all the necessary information about your business.
2. Contract completion:
- After completing the questionnaire and having your data verified by YooKassa staff, you will be offered to conclude a contract. This may be an electronic contract or a contract that needs to be signed on paper, depending on your region and business type.
3. Technical integration with your bot:
