Both platforms handle currency operations for Chinese sellers: prices are set in yuan, payouts are received in yuan, and conversion from customer rubles is handled by the platform. Sellers do not need to buy or sell currency themselves.
How it works on WB
The WB conversion rate is close to the market exchange rate, making it more favorable than bank rates with their spreads. Payouts are made via payment systems with a 0% platform withdrawal fee. For details on the mechanics, see our separate analysis.
How it works on Ozon Global
The scheme is the same: ruble revenue is converted by the platform, and yuan is sent to the payment system wallet (LianLian Pay ~1.2%, Payful, PandaPay). Payouts occur twice a month. The minimum withdrawal amount is 6,500 yuan: small balances accumulate until this threshold is met.
Exchange rates in seller unit economics
The official Central Bank rate today is 12,57 ₽ per yuan. It is prudent to include a buffer in your pricing (Central Bank + 15% ≈ 14,45 ₽): platform rates fluctuate, but the price in your product listing does not. The full formula is available in our guide on rates and price calculation.
Frequently asked questions
Can I receive payouts in rubles?
The scheme for Chinese companies is built on the yuan: both pricing and payouts are in CNY, with conversion handled by the platform. Ruble-based settlements apply to sellers in other jurisdictions.
Which platform offers a better rate — WB or Ozon?
The rates on both platforms are close to market rates and change daily; there is no systematic difference that would justify choosing one platform over the other. What matters is including a buffer for volatility in your pricing.
How often should I review prices due to exchange rate fluctuations?
Once a month on a set schedule, plus unscheduled reviews if the rate moves by 3–5%. Mass price updates in both dashboards take minutes, whereas margin loss from an outdated rate is permanent.
Do I need to handle currency conversion myself when selling on Wildberries or Ozon Global?
No, both platforms handle currency operations for Chinese sellers by converting customer rubles into yuan automatically. You do not need to buy or sell currency yourself.
Is there a minimum amount I must reach before withdrawing funds from Ozon Global?
Yes, the minimum withdrawal amount is 6,500 yuan. If your balance is smaller, it will accumulate until you meet this threshold.
How should I account for exchange rate volatility in my pricing strategy?
It is prudent to include a buffer in your pricing, such as the Central Bank rate plus 15%, which is currently 14,45 ₽. You should also schedule a monthly price review to ensure your margins are not eroded by rate fluctuations.
