## How do I buy a domain with USDT ERC-20?

Five steps from search to an active domain. The order status moves from Awaiting payment to Verifying, Processing and Active.

1. **Search the name** — Search a domain and add it to your cart. Prices are per year in US dollars: .com $11.49/year.
2. **Choose USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20)** — On the payment page, top up at least $25 and choose USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20). Pick the same network in your wallet or exchange.
3. **Send the exact amount** — Send the exact USDT amount to the address shown: an Ethereum address (starts with 0x). The rate is locked for 30 minutes.
4. **Wait for 12 confirmations** — The order shows Verifying while the payment is checked on the blockchain. Your balance is credited after 12 confirmations on the Ethereum network (ERC-20).
5. **Get your domain** — The order moves to Processing, then Active: usually within minutes of the top-up being credited; a few extensions take a few hours. Safety net: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance.

## How much does it cost to pay with USDT ERC-20?

BuyDomainsCrypto adds no fee for paying in USDT ERC-20. You pay the domain price in US dollars, plus the fee of the Ethereum network (ERC-20), which goes to the network. An ERC-20 transfer pays Ethereum gas in ETH. Gas varies with network load: for small amounts, TRC-20 is often the cheaper USDT network to send.

An exchange may also charge its own withdrawal fee. If it takes that fee from the amount you send, add it, so the exact amount arrives. Domain prices are the same whatever coin you use: see the [pricing page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pricing/).

## What mistakes should I avoid when paying with USDT ERC-20?

Check three things before you send: the network, the exact amount and the 30-minute window. ERC-20 is one of the two USDT networks accepted; the other is Tron (TRC-20).

- Pick Ethereum (ERC-20) on the payment page and in your wallet: the same 0x address format exists on many other networks, which are not accepted.
- Keep some ETH in the sending wallet to pay the gas.
- Send the exact amount shown, to the last decimal.

## How payment works

1. **Top up $25 or more** — Choose the amount and the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes.
2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount.
3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how your payment is found and matched to your account automatically. Nothing else to send us.
4. **Credited after the network confirmations** — Your balance is credited once the network has confirmed the transaction. Usual times:
5. **One balance for every domain** — If you started from a domain search, the domains in your cart are registered automatically as soon as the top-up is credited. What is left stays on your balance for renewals, transfers and new domains. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable.

| Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min |
| Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min |
| Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min |
| USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min |
| Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min |
| Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min |
| Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min |

## Paying with USDT ERC-20: FAQ

### Can I buy a domain with USDT ERC-20 without KYC?

Yes. BuyDomainsCrypto never asks for an ID, a selfie or documents. You top up your balance in USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) and register any of 55 extensions from it. You only need a working email address: the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days).

### How many confirmations does a USDT ERC-20 payment need?

A USDT ERC-20 top-up is credited after 12 confirmations on the Ethereum network (ERC-20). Until then the order shows Verifying, while the payment is checked on the blockchain. Once credited, the balance pays your cart and the order moves to Processing, then Active. For comparison: 2 for BTC, 20 for USDT TRC-20, 12 for ERC-20 tokens and ETH, 1 for SOL, 6 for LTC.

### What happens if I send USDT on the wrong network?

ERC-20 is one of the two USDT networks accepted; the other is Tron (TRC-20). A payment sent on another network does not reach your top-up and may not be recoverable. Write to support@buydomainscrypto.com with the coin, the network, the exact amount and the time you sent it: we check what is possible, but we cannot promise a recovery. Always compare the network on the payment page with your wallet.

### Is the USDT amount fixed?

Yes. Prices are in US dollars and USDT is a dollar stablecoin, so the amount to send is the dollar amount shown, to the last decimal. The payment page is valid for 30 minutes. If your exchange deducts a withdrawal fee from the amount, add it, so the exact amount arrives.

### Can I get a refund in USDT ERC-20?

Top-ups are not paid back in crypto. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable. Safety net: if a domain cannot be registered (taken in the meantime, registry refusal), the full amount goes back to your balance. You can then pick another name or pay a renewal with it. The [refunds page](https://buydomainscrypto.com/refunds/) explains the rules in full.

### Is a USDT ERC-20 payment private?

Not on the blockchain: Ethereum (ERC-20) is a public ledger, so anyone can see the transaction and the addresses. What stays private is your identity on our side: no ID, no KYC, only a verified email, kept private. [WHOIS privacy](https://buydomainscrypto.com/whois-privacy/) then keeps your details out of public records where the registry allows it.

### Can I pay renewals and transfers with USDT ERC-20?

Yes. One balance pays registrations, renewals and transfers. Top up in USDT whenever you want; auto-renew does the rest: automatic renewal from your balance, switched on or off for each domain. Unused balance never expires, so a top-up today can pay next year's renewal of any domain on the account.

### Is USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20 cheaper to send?

For small amounts, TRC-20 is often the cheaper USDT network. An ERC-20 transfer pays Ethereum gas in ETH, and gas varies with network load. Both are accepted at BuyDomainsCrypto: USDT on Tron (TRC-20) is credited after 20 confirmations, USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) after 12. See [paying with USDT TRC-20](https://buydomainscrypto.com/pay-with/usdt-trc20/).
