Connect your station to the cloud in 15 minutes - charge your own fleet or make money on every driver
OCPP CSS is a cloud charging station management system: a live map with connector states, tariffs, drivers, invoices and remote commands. By default a station serves only your own people - employees and invited drivers. When you are ready to earn, connect your YooKassa shop in one click: drivers' money goes straight to your bank account, and our fee is 4% per receipt.
Find your scenario
For sole proprietors and companies with one to fifteen stations. A couple of stations is not a "small client" here - it is our primary scenario. Not available to self-employed individuals: the Russian self-employment tax regime is incompatible with taking charging payments.
Homeowner associations and property managers
A residential parking garage. Residents charge by invitation; outsiders have no access to the station. Want to let guests in? Enable payments: the income lands on the association's account, and per-session reports go straight to accounting.
Business centers
Stations for your tenants: invite them and they charge, with no outside cars taking the spots. Guest traffic can be monetized with the same station - no second system and no in-house IT department needed.
Hotels
Charging for guests is a service amenity, like parking or Wi-Fi. If the hotel sits by a highway, enable payments for passers-by, and the station brings income even in low season.
Fuel and gas stations
Company vehicles charge under internal rules, visitors pay the commercial tariff. While a customer waits for the charge, the station shop's average ticket grows.
Roadside cafe or shop
One or two stations by the road. EV drivers plan routes by the charging map - the station brings customers to you, and charging revenue lands on your account.
Parking developer
Five to fifteen stations: some for the maintenance service, some for parking-space tenants at a tariff. Several legal entities and networks under one account, access by RFID cards.
One station - two ways to use it
No permanent choice required. Every account starts in the "Own fleet" mode; payment acceptance is switched on by connecting a YooKassa shop and off by revoking it. Stations, history and settings survive the switch.
- Only the people you invited can charge: employees and drivers by email invitation. The station is invisible to outsiders and takes no payments
- The first three stations are not billed. From the fourth - 0.5-3 ₽ per minute of actual charging, invoiced monthly
- No YooKassa, no fiscal cash register, no receipts needed at all: in this mode nobody pays anybody
- Drivers pay by QR code without registration or from the app - the money arrives directly in your YooKassa shop, on your bank account
- The 54-FZ fiscal receipt is issued with your tax ID automatically - via an online cash register connected to YooKassa
- The platform fee is 4% per receipt. No subscription, no setup fee, no minimum volumes
Switching is automatic: connect the shop and new sessions are billed; revoke access in your YooKassa account and you are back to the own-fleet mode.
From the driver's payment to your bank account
The key difference between OCPP CSS and aggregators is the path the money takes. A payment is born directly in your YooKassa shop: the funds never touch our accounts, so we are physically unable to hold them. Here is the whole path, step by step.
- 1CheckoutVisa · Mastercard · MIR · SBP · SberPay
The driver pays: one-off by QR code or from the app
A passing driver scans the QR code on the station and pays by card with no registration. A regular one charges from the app, with a wallet and history. Either way the payment goes into your YooKassa shop.
One-off paymentQR code on the station → payment page
Your station's payment page opens: the tariff, the pre-authorization amount, the pay button. No app installs - the scenario for passers-by.
Regular clientsThe driver app
Session history, wallet, saved cards, RFID tags, notifications. Installs on a phone in one tap - no app stores.

- 2PaymentOAuth authorization · shop token
The payment is created in your YooKassa shop
The platform creates the payment on your behalf via the OAuth Partners API - YooKassa's standard interface for platforms. It is a regular payment of your shop, not a transfer through somebody's internal balance.
- 3SettlementOut of a 100 ₽ payment
The money is on your account the next business day
YooKassa settles the funds under its usual T+1 schedule - the same as for any online store. The platform never touches the money: our fee is billed separately once a month, itemized per session.
- 4ReceiptReceipt to the driver + to the FDO
The fiscal receipt - with your tax ID
The 54-FZ receipt goes to the driver and to the fiscal data operator on behalf of your shop - via an online cash register connected to YooKassa, for example the free "Receipts from YooKassa" by Evotor. The platform stays out of fiscalization.
Two plans - both with no subscription fee
Registration, the portal and station onboarding cost nothing. You pay only for what actually happens: minutes of fleet charging beyond three stations - or 4% per receipt when you earn.
The first 3 stations - always 0 ₽. From the fourth - per minute of actual charging, invoiced monthly.
- Owner portal, driver app, remote station commands
- OCPP 1.5/1.6/2.0.1, OCPI roaming
- Employees and invited drivers - no limit on numbers
- No YooKassa, no cash register, no fiscalization
- Email support
| Mode | Power | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Slow | up to 7 kW | 0.5 ₽/min |
| Standard | 7-22 kW | 1 ₽/min |
| Fast | 22-50 kW | 2 ₽/min |
| Ultra-fast | 50+ kW | 3 ₽/min |
Billed per minute of actual charging on a connector - not idle time, not station hours and not the station itself. Invoiced once a month.
Per receipt - only while you take payments. Enabled by connecting a YooKassa shop, disabled at any moment.
- Everything in "Own fleet": the portal, the app, station commands
- QR-code payment page; cards, SBP, SberPay
- Money straight to your bank account, next business day
- 54-FZ receipt with your tax ID - automatic
- The fee is invoiced monthly, itemized per session
For comparison: foreign platforms of this class charge 8-10% per transaction or a fixed yearly fee per port, and aggregators route revenue through their own balance and pay out on a schedule. Here it is 4% and direct settlement: the money never enters the platform's accounts at all.
The rate is fixed in the contract. Electricity and taxes are your usual costs; the calculator below accounts for them too.

From sign-up to the first charge
Every step is a short action in the portal, in the station settings or in your YooKassa account. Own fleet - three steps, payment acceptance - five. Either way with no managers, calls or waiting.
- 1Sign-up≈ 1-2 min · on our side
Register in the portal
Email and password - under a minute. The portal opens right away: station map, live sessions, tariffs, clients, invoices, the OCPP journal.
Drivers register separatelyDrivers have their own app
A driver registers in the driver.ocpp-css.com app - it installs on a phone in one tap, no app stores. It holds their personal account: charging payments, session history, wallet, cards and RFID tags. It costs you nothing and needs no setup.
driver.ocpp-css.com ↗ - 2OCPP protocol≈ 5 minutes per station
Connect the station over OCPP
In the station's web interface enter your personal connection address - it is shown in the portal's "Stations" section. Save the settings and restart the station: it comes online within a minute. Any station with OCPP 1.6 or 2.0.1 will do.
- 3Inviting drivers≈ 30 seconds per driver · automatic afterwards
Invite your drivers
In the "Employees" section enter an email and the "Driver" role. The person gets a link to the driver app, and once registered, your stations appear on their map.
Infrastructure, not just payment acceptance
Four systems that come with the station. Everything listed already works in the portal - it is the product, not a roadmap.
Owner's cloud portal
- Station map with every connector's live state: free, charging, reserved, faulted
- Sessions as a list, cards or on the map; filters and saved periods
- Invoices, payments and reports - the whole financial history in one place
- Several organizations and networks under one account; custom theme and logo for corporate operators
- Interface in a dozen languages
Operational control
- OCPP Pro engineer console: direct station commands, including remote reboot and diagnostics
- OCPP journal with an expandable request/response tree - every exchange with the station is visible
- Online/offline status in real time - a dropped connection is noticed immediately
- Defect tracking: a ticket moves through "Open → In progress → Resolved", nothing gets lost in email threads
- Remote firmware updates with installation history; a station security event log
Tariffs and access
- Four charging speed modes × five services: kWh, minute, waiting, idle, reservation
- Weekly hourly schedule: pricier at peak, cheaper at night
- Pre-authorization holds: funds are frozen before charging starts - fraud protection with no effort on your side
- RFID cards and access lists: your people charge at a discount, guests at the commercial tariff
- OCPI roaming: the station is visible beyond your own app
Driver app
- Map with filters by availability and connector type: Type 2, CCS, CHAdeMO, GB/T
- Charging progress in real time: waiting → start → charging → done
- Wallet, saved cards, RFID tags, auto top-up
- Installs on a phone in one tap - no app stores
A charging station without a CSMS is just a socket with a plug
A CSMS (Charging Station Management System) turns charging hardware into a working service with a map, tariffs, payments and receipts. If you are still deciding whether to invest in charging infrastructure - this section is for you.
Six systems in one
- Station and network connectivity - OCPP and OCPI
Accepts OCPP 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0.1 - one language for stations of any age and make. Roaming between networks over OCPI 2.2.1/2.3.0, in both roles: network owner and aggregator.
- Payment acceptance
Creates a payment in your YooKassa shop, takes cards, SBP and SberPay, handles refunds - via the standard Partners API.
- 54-FZ fiscal receipts
The receipt is issued with the station owner's tax ID via a connected online cash register. The fiscal data operator and storage are on YooKassa's side.
- Working with drivers
One-off QR payment without registration - or a personal account in the app: history, wallet, RFID tags, notifications.
- Fraud protection
Funds frozen before charging starts, card limits, driver checks - with no operator involved.
- Operator support
Connection monitoring, dropped-link handling, session recovery, reports - the portal does the routine itself.
Nobody builds infrastructure from scratch
Every infrastructure layer has a ready solution you simply plug into. A CSMS is the same kind of layer - for charging stations.
- A shop does not build its own acquiring
It connects YooKassa or T-Kassa - and accepts every bank's cards plus SBP.
- A seller does not build its own logistics
It joins Wildberries or Ozon - and sells nationwide without its own warehouse.
- A station owner does not build their own CSMS
They connect to OCPP CSS - and get ready infrastructure: the portal, the driver app, payments and receipts. No own servers and no development team.
Frequently asked
Is it true I can use it without paying?
Yes. Every new account runs in the "Own fleet" mode: the first three stations are not billed, beyond that - 0.5-3 ₽ per minute of actual charging, invoiced monthly. Only people you invited can charge; outsiders have no access. If an invoice stays unpaid for 14 days, only starting new sessions is blocked - the stations stay online and the data is kept. Portal and app updates are included, with no extra charges for new features.
Who receives the money - you or me?
You do. The payment is created directly in your YooKassa shop, the funds arrive on your bank account the next business day, and the receipt carries your tax ID. The platform only initiates payments on your behalf over the OAuth Partners API - it never sees or touches your money.
How do you collect your 4% if the money goes straight to me?
Once a month we issue an invoice for the fee across all paid sessions - itemized per session. It is a regular contractor's invoice under the agreement: you see what you pay for, and the drivers' revenue is not involved.
Can I start with my own fleet and enable payments later?
Yes, the switch is automatic. While no YooKassa shop is connected, the "Own fleet" mode applies. Connect a shop via OAuth in the "Payments" section - new sessions are billed (4% per receipt) and the money goes straight to your account. You can disconnect the shop any time in your YooKassa account - stations, data and session history are preserved.
What if I want to leave?
In your YooKassa account, under "Authorized applications", find "OCPP CSS" and press "Revoke". Payments through the platform stop immediately. No calls needed, no penalties.
What access does the platform get to my data?
The OAuth Partners API limits access to strictly defined operations: creating payments, checking their status, issuing refunds. Your shop settings, balance and profile data are not accessible to us. The exact permission list is shown on the YooKassa page before you press "Allow".
Which charging stations are supported?
Any station speaking OCPP 1.5, 1.6 or 2.0.1 - more than 95% of the market. Operation is confirmed with hardware from dozens of manufacturers, including ABB, Schneider Electric, Wallbox, EVlink, Sigma, EnerCharge and Atess. Check the connection field names in your station's manual.
What if I only have one or two stations?
That is our primary scenario: a roadside cafe, a small hotel, a homeowners association. The terms do not depend on the number of stations, and onboarding takes the same time for one station as for thirty.
Can I run several organizations or brands under one account?
Yes. One account can hold several organizations - convenient when stations belong to different legal entities. Corporate clients can get their own theme, logo and domain.
Which online cash register do I need?
We recommend "Receipts from YooKassa" - Evotor's free program for new sole proprietors and Russian legal entities (available until December 1, 2026): it connects in your YooKassa account and adds 0.6% to the fee, with the fiscal storage and data operator on YooKassa's side. Your own register works too: ATOL Online, Evotor, KOMTET - connected in the same place.
What about VAT, receipts and the fiscal data operator?
The driver's receipt is issued with your tax ID via the online cash register connected to YooKassa. VAT follows your tax regime: none on the simplified regime, 20% on the general one. The platform stays out of fiscalization - that is between you and YooKassa.
How are driver tariffs configured?
In the portal, per station: per kilowatt-hour or per minute, waiting, idle and reservation fees, schedules by time of day and day of week. The driver sees the tariff before charging starts - in the app or on the QR payment page.
Can I migrate from another CSMS without reflashing?
Yes. On most stations the OCPP server address is changed via the local web interface or an administrator RFID card. No firmware changes required.
What happens if the station loses internet connectivity?
Charging itself does not depend on the cloud - the station keeps working, and on most models OCPP messages are stored locally and delivered once the link is back. The portal shows the outage immediately: the offline status is real-time.
The station broke - who is responsible for what?
Software and payments are our territory: the station status is visible in real time, some problems are solved by a remote reboot from the OCPP Pro console, and a defect ticket moves through "Open → In progress → Resolved". Physical repair belongs to the manufacturer or your service company; we provide diagnostics that make the engineer's job easier.
How is OCPP CSS different from other Russian CSMS?
The path of the money, and entry without managers. On most platforms revenue first lands on the platform's own account or internal balance and is paid out on a schedule; here the payment is born in your YooKassa shop, and we are physically unable to hold the money. Onboarding is self-service, pricing is published, and neither the contract nor the prices hide behind "book a demo".
Built on the Apostol CSMS production platform
OCPP CSS is a retail service on the Apostol CSMS platform - the same core that serves charging brands in Europe and Russia. An official release, in production, with an open platform core. The portal can be checked with demo access - before registering.
The service is provided by the developer of the Apostol CSMS platform. The contract is signed directly, with no intermediaries.
