MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - Jan 12, 2017) - Net Element, Inc. (
Sutochno.ru features over 70,000 property listings, which last year attracted more than 700,000 guests who used the platform to book short-term accommodations throughout Russia. Sutochno.ru differentiates itself from Airbnb by being more country specific and offering a more attractive pricing model for guests. Additionally, while Airbnb takes commissions from the guests, Sutochno.ru only charges the hosts a commission and an optional fee to have a priority position in the list of available properties.
"We are excited to partner with PayOnline for our payment processing needs. PayOnline provides us with a complete solution for all of our payment needs such as pre-authorization, escrowing and payment processing via all types of cards," commented Yuri Kuznetsov, founder of Sutochno.ru. "Together with PayOnline we are developing innovative mechanisms specific to our business that will add convenience, security and enhance the user experience."
"We are honored to see Sutochno.ru amongst our merchants; PayOnline has invested heavily in product development, and it is rewarding to see how merchants can utilize the capabilities of our platform to meet their business needs and provide an excellent experience to the end consumer," commented Marat Abasaliev, CEO of PayOnline.
