Setting up a billing account

You need a Yandex Cloud billing account to pay your invoices for using Tracker if full access to the platform is granted to six or more users. To learn more about service plans and take a look at some examples of how to calculate monthly costs, see Pricing policy.

Linking a billing account to Tracker

To use Tracker paid features, you first need to link a billing account. A window that prompts you to link your billing account to Tracker appears when granting full access to a new user (if five of your employees already have full access) or when enabling automatic full access for all new users.

• If you already have a Yandex Cloud billing account, select it from the list and click Link.

• If you don't have a billing account yet, select Create and add a new account.

If you linked a billing account with an active trial period or created a new account, the paid version will be automatically activated for your account. This means that money can be debited from your account to pay for services Yandex Cloud. If you haven't used the starting grant yet, you will be able to use it after switching to the paid version.
