Updated on October 25, 2026

To pay for a domain in dollars, issue a virtual Visa card with a dollar balance in about two minutes, top it up with the registration price and pay at the registrar's checkout. It costs $ 10 to issue, 2% top-up fee with USDT and $ 0.25 per approved purchase, with no monthly fee.

How do you pay for a domain in dollars, step by step?

  1. Open the Guarapay app or the Telegram mini app @guarapay_bot and create an account.
  2. Issue the virtual card; the issue fee is $ 10 on Standard or $ 100 on Premium.
  3. Check the registrar's price for the domain and the number of years you want, and add $ 0.25 for the approved purchase.
  4. Top up that total with USDT or with a Visa or Mastercard bank card in your own name.
  5. At the registrar's checkout, enter the number, expiry date, security code, name and billing address as shown in the app.
  6. Confirm and look for the purchase notification in the app, which arrives right away.

How much does it cost to pay for a domain with the card?

  • The domain costs whatever the registrar shows at checkout; the price depends on the extension and the number of years, and Guarapay does not change it.
  • One-time issue: $ 10 on Standard or $ 100 on Premium; there is no monthly fee, so an unused card costs nothing.
  • Top-up fee: 2% with USDT on Standard and 1% on Premium; 5% with a bank card, on both plans. It is taken at top-up.
  • $ 0.25 per approved purchase, taken from the balance together with the domain: the balance has to cover the domain plus that amount.
  • Monthly spending limit: $ 10,000 on Standard and $ 100,000 on Premium.
  • If you top up with a local bank card, your bank may add its own taxes and exchange rate; with USDT the top-up lands directly in dollars.

How much balance should you keep to renew a domain every year?

Keep the renewal price plus $ 0.25 on the card before the billing date. The registrar usually charges the renewal on its own to the saved card, and if the balance does not cover it the charge is declined and the money stays on your balance.

The renewal price can differ from the first-year price; check the renewal amount on the domain page at the registrar and top up a few days early.

What happens if the domain renewal is declined?

The registrar retries and emails you, but how long you have to pay depends on each registrar and on the domain extension. Read its expiry rules and do not count on extra time.

If the domain runs a site or an email address, the risk is going offline. Top up the card before the expiry date and update the billing details at the registrar.

Why was the domain payment declined?

  • The balance does not cover the domain plus the $ 0.25 approved-purchase amount.
  • The monthly or per-purchase cap set in the app is below the domain price.
  • The card is frozen in the app.
  • The name or billing address differs from the one shown in the app.
  • The registrar declines prepaid or virtual cards under its own rules; Guarapay cannot guarantee it accepts the card.
  • Wait a few minutes and try again; if it keeps failing, write to Guarapay support on Telegram.
