Three ways to pay
The payment options have grown one at a time, so here is the full picture in one place. Which routes a given name offers is shown on its page.
Escrow.com — the default, and our recommendation. You pay a licensed, bonded escrow service, not us; the money is released only after the domain is in your hands. Works for Buy Now and for lease-to-own monthly plans.
Direct wire or Zelle — for eligible names, you can skip the escrow fee and pay us directly. Because that removes the escrow safety net, the route is wrapped in paper instead: you e-sign a purchase agreement first, we countersign, and only then do payment instructions go out. You keep a signed contract that names the domain, the price, and the delivery obligation before any money moves.
Gram (TON) — for buyers whose capital lives on-chain. Fixed-amount invoice, wallet checkout, on-chain settlement. Covered in detail in Pay with Gram.
Whatever the route, the transfer itself is the same: the name moves to your registrar account, and the deal is not done until it does.
