Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
For clients
On the website
How much does a session cost?
Each guide sets their own price: currently from 300 ₽ to 36,000 ₽ per 15–120-minute session. You see the final price before you pay.
What is Karma?
Karma is Venera's bonus points (1 Karma = 1 ₽); you earn them by inviting friends. To invite a friend, open Karma & invites in your account and send them your invitation link: once your friend completes their first paid session, you get 500 Karma. Karma can cover up to 30% of the price of a session; the rest is paid by card.
Do I need to install the app?
No. You can choose a guide, pay and hold the video session right on veneramagic.ru. The Venera app for iPhone and Android is optional.
About the service
What is Venera and how does it work?
Venera is a space where you can find verified guides in self-discovery, personal development and mindful practices. You choose a guide you like, book a consultation, chat and hold a session via video call — all inside the app.
How do I choose the right guide?
You can use filters by area (for example, “Self-discovery”), topic (“Relationships”), price or rating. We also recommend watching guides' video cards and reading reviews from other users.
Is it safe here? How do you verify guides?
We carefully select each guide: we check profiles, experience, certificates (if any) and conduct a short interview. We also have a Code of Ethics that rules out harmful advice and manipulation.
Consultation questions
How do I pay for a consultation?
Payment is made inside the app by bank card through a secure payment gateway. Bonus points can cover up to 30% of the consultation price; the rest is paid by card.
What are bonus points?
Bonus points are Venera's internal currency (1 point = 1 ₽). You earn them by inviting friends: 500 points when a friend you invite completes their first paid session. Bonus points can cover up to 30% of a consultation price; the rest is paid by card.
Can I get a refund if the consultation was not right for me?
A full refund is available before the consultation starts. You can cancel a paid consultation yourself in “My consultations” no later than one hour before it starts — the money and bonus points are returned automatically. If less than an hour is left, the practitioner does not attend, or the service cannot provide the consultation, email general@quantum-dev.ru with your booking number: we will offer a reschedule or a refund. Completion of a consultation does not exclude a claim for service defects, incomplete delivery, or a breach of agreed terms. Subjective disagreement with a prediction does not itself prove a service defect. Your rights and claim handling deadlines follow Russian law and the offer.
How does a video consultation work?
After payment and agreeing on a time, a “Start session” button appears in the chat. The video call happens right in the app (or through integration with a secure service). You can turn off the camera if you want.
What should I do if the guide cancelled the session?
The guide must warn you in advance. In this case you can reschedule or get a full refund.
Does the chat stay available after the consultation?
Yes, the chat stays open indefinitely. You can always return to the conversation, but new messages after the session ends are sent only with your consent (or under a paid chat rate, if the guide has set it up).
Technical questions
Which devices does the app work on?
Venera is available for iPhone and Android. Guides can also use the web version from a computer.
How do I change my password or profile details?
Go to “Profile” → “Settings” → “Edit”. There you can change your name, photo, email and other details.
I forgot my login code. What should I do?
Tap “Forgot code?” on the login screen. We will send a new confirmation code to your phone number or Telegram.
For guides
Registration and verification
How do I become a guide on Venera?
Fill out the form on our website (link in the invitation). After reviewing your form, we will contact you for a short interview. If you pass, you will get access to your personal account.
What documents are needed for verification?
It is advisable to attach photos/scans of training certificates, diplomas or links to a portfolio. For well-known experts the process is expedited.
Is there a trial period?
There is no trial period: once your profile is approved, you can take bookings right away. We recommend that new guides add a short free service of up to 15 minutes — it makes it easier for clients to get to know you and helps you get your first reviews sooner.
Profile and settings
How do I fill out my profile to attract clients?
We have prepared a detailed guide. In short: add a quality photo, record a video card (up to 60 seconds), write a sincere description, specify your specialization, topics, prices and session durations. The livelier and more honest the profile, the more responses you get.
How do I change the consultation price?
How do I set up my schedule?
Consultations and chat
How am I paid for a consultation?
Funds arrive in your internal balance right after the session is successfully completed. You can withdraw them to a card at any time. The platform fee is 30%.
What should I do if the client did not get in touch?
Wait 10 minutes, then mark the session as “not held” in the chat. The funds will be returned to the client. If the client was late, you can start the session late or reschedule — at your discretion.
How to start a video call
At the appointed time, an active “Start session” button appears in the chat with the client. Tap it — the system will create a secure video room and send a link to the client. You do not need to set up anything.
Does the chat stay available after the session?
Yes, the chat stays open indefinitely. You can view the conversation history. However, to send new messages after the session ends (unless it is related to rescheduling), a paid chat may be introduced — you can enable this option in the settings.
How do clients leave reviews?
After the session ends, the client will receive a push notification inviting them to rate the consultation on a scale from 1 to 5 and write a text review. You will be able to see reviews in your profile and reply to them.
Finances and withdrawals
How can I withdraw my earned funds?
Go to “Finances” → “Withdraw funds”. Specify the amount (at least 1000 rubles) and your card details. Withdrawal takes 3–5 business days.
How do I pay taxes?
Payouts are available to self-employed guides (professional income tax) and sole proprietors: before your first withdrawal, provide your tax status and INN. If you are self-employed, issue a receipt in the “Moy Nalog” app after each payout and send it to support. You pay the income tax yourself.
Rules and ethics
Which topics and advice are prohibited?
It is prohibited to give medical diagnoses, recommend refusing treatment, claim that death or catastrophes are inevitable, or incite violence. The full list is in the Code of Ethics, which you review during registration.
What happens if I break the rules?
Depending on the severity of the violation — a warning, a temporary block, or a permanent removal from the platform with confiscation of earned funds (in case of fraud).
