In addition, some customers may like the fact that such machines issue a paper receipt, since not all users like electronic receipts.

Additional recommendations
Having figured out how to pay Tricolor for the terminal, all that remains is to figure out what to pay special attention to. The most important condition for making a payment at self-service devices (after specifying the details correctly) is to keep the receipt.

The nuances of payment through the terminal
For clients of the Tricolor operator, payment in QIWI terminals, the Eleknet network and other self-service devices is available through a simple and convenient interface. But before performing the operation, you need to know several important features:
- A commission may apply. It is installed by the system operator and/or device owner. If there is a commission, the device will warn you about this before the transaction is completed.
- You can deposit funds in cash or from bank cards. Methods for receiving funds depend on the specific device and its settings.
- You can top up your Tricolor balance in almost any terminal. The company cooperates with Gazprombank, VTB, QIWI, Cyberplat, Elexnet and others. But there is still no guarantee that a particular device has the ability to make a payment to her address.
- The interface of different devices is different. But usually this does not create any problems.
- The minimum payment amount usually corresponds to the recommended amount for a specific service. In many terminals, you can make a maximum payment of 14,900 rubles at a time.

- go to the “Payment for services” section;

Payment for Tricolor TV using a card: Video
From a mobile phone
You can pay with your mobile phone in different ways. Funds can be withdrawn from a personal account or from a card linked to the application. The easiest way is to follow the link and choose the best method. For example, Beeline makes a virtual Visa card. In addition, there are SMS payments available from all operators: just send a message with the name of the package (without spaces, for example, OurFootball149) and your ID (12, 14 digits).
Payment cards
Not the most convenient way, because cards are sold only from authorized dealers of the company. Having purchased such a scratch card, you need to enter a PIN code protected by a special coating that needs to be erased.
Payment at the cash desks of bank branches
Unfortunately, not all banks provide this opportunity. And not everyone wants to stand in line. We will bring partners only for the reason that we want to describe all the methods.
In communication shops, post offices, etc.
Essentially the same as in the previous method. Of course, it is possible that for some people this is actually more convenient or easier.
Algorithm for making a Tricolor payment via an ATM
This method is similar in meaning and procedure to that described above. When paying through an ATM of Sberbank or another bank, the money is debited from the card. An ATM equipped with a bill acceptor also allows you to pay for services in cash.
Important! Sberbank and the Tricolor company are partners, therefore, when making payments for satellite television from this provider, no commission is charged.
The procedure for making a payment from a card is as follows:
- insert the card into the device and enter the PIN code;
- go to the “Payments” section;
- on the page that opens, open the “Television” item;
- then find and open the page of the Tricolor provider;
- enter the receiver ID and the amount to be paid, indicate the tariff plan;
- make payment and pick up a printed receipt.
Cash payment through a terminal or ATM with a bill acceptor is carried out by selecting the “Pay in cash” option. Further actions boil down to choosing a provider, entering payment details and placing bills in the bill acceptor.
Payment in Sberbank
You can pay for the service through Sberbank in several ways. In this case, you can do this in cash or from a Sberbank card.

For the service to work, your mobile phone number must be in the Sberbank database, otherwise you will have to print a list of temporary passwords at an ATM or terminal. For security purposes, each entry into your personal account and any payment is confirmed by a one-time password on your mobile phone.
After logging in, do the following:
- Through the “Payments and Transfers” section, go down to the “Payment for purchases and services” line.
- Find a provider in two ways: by entering the name “Tricolor” in the search bar or by manually searching through the “Internet and TV” - “TV” icon located below.

Auto payment
To make Tricolor payments automatically, activate the autopayment service.
This can be done through Sberbank Online from the personal menu, section “My auto payments”.

After this, a day before the scheduled payment, a notification about the generated document will be sent to your mobile phone. You can delete a payment by sending the appropriate code in response. If the refusal code is not sent, the required amount will be debited from the bank account the next day.
Automatic payments are available through ATMs and terminals, as well as mobile banking.
SMS template
You can create a template for future payments through the Sberbank Online Internet service, from the “Mobile Bank” settings, or through an ATM or Sberbank terminal. First, look for the option to connect a mobile bank in the menu. Then, following the instructions, we create a template. To perform the operation, you will need to select a mobile operator and enter individual template parameters (name of service provider, receiver number). Payment for the service according to the template is carried out by sending an SMS to number 900 with the following content:
“service NNNNNNNNNNNN amount XXXX”, where NN is an individual parameter (receiver number), and XXXX is the four-digit value of the end of the payment card number.
