Payment is not hourly, but piecework, which makes it possible to regulate the intensity of work yourself.
Each order has a base price, to which various surcharges can be added. For example, delivery of large items or products from supermarkets with a large number of items costs more. The system automatically calculates the total amount, which the contractor sees even before accepting the order for work.
- 🚀 Basic tariff — a fixed amount for accepting an order and delivering it to the client.
- 🌧️ Weather coefficient - increased payment during rain, snow or extreme heat.
- 📦 Weight surcharge — additional payment for orders heavier than the standard 5-7 kilograms.
- 🏢 Compensation for floors — payment for lifting cargo on foot if the building does not have an elevator.
⚠️ Attention: Base rates may vary significantly from city to city. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, prices are traditionally higher than in the regions due to differences in the cost of living and logistical complexity.
The transparency of the system allows the courier to track the accumulated amount in real time. Application Yandex Pro provides detailed statistics, where you can see how much was earned for each hour and through which orders. This helps you analyze the effectiveness of your work and choose the most profitable time periods.

It is activated during peak hours, when the number of orders exceeds the number of available couriers.

Clients and partners prefer to work with trusted couriers who have many positive reviews and a low cancellation rate. Maintaining your reputation becomes a key task for stable earnings.
An important aspect is the choice of transport type. Cyclists, foot couriers and car drivers receive different rates. Automobile delivery often allows more orders to be completed per hour due to speed, but incurs fuel and depreciation costs.

- ⏰ Time of day — breakfasts, lunches and dinners are periods of high demand.
- 🗓️ Seasonality — holidays and bad weather increase the number of orders.
- 🚴 Type of transport — determines the delivery radius and mileage cost.

| Job type | Fulfillment condition | Bonus amount | Validity period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morning start | 5 orders from 7:00 to 11:00 | up to 500 rub. | Daily |
| Evening marathon | 10 orders from 18:00 to 23:00 | up to 1200 rub. | Mon-Thu |
| Weekly goal | 60 hours on line | up to 4000 rub. | Mon-Sun |

Comparison of delivery types: which is more profitable?
Choosing a work format is one of the first steps a beginner takes. B Yandex Pro you can choose to deliver food from restaurants, groceries from stores, or goods from marketplaces. Each format has its own characteristics, tariffs and transport requirements.
Food delivery is characterized by a high pace and many short orders during peak hours. This is ideal for cyclists and foot couriers as the distances are usually short. Grocery delivery involves more infrequent but expensive orders with a large weight, which requires a car or a spacious bicycle.
Commodity delivery (Yandex Market, Lavka) often has a more predictable schedule and fixed cargo pickup points. There is less interaction with customers here, as many orders are left at the door or at parcel lockers. The choice depends on your preferences: if you like a fast pace and communication, choose food; if you prefer a calm pace, choose goods.
Hidden nuances of different formats

Sometimes it is more profitable to take an order a little cheaper, but with a return point along the way, than to travel across the whole city for one order. Comfortable shoes and knowledge of shortcuts are important for foot couriers.
