The problem is clear. Many domain registrars today have broken payment systems. From customers complaining about getting charged for domains and not having the domains added to their accounts to transactions getting reversed several days after the customer has paid and started to build websites with their domains, it's wild.
Many of these payment issues come from unnecessary verification processes and requirements that these payment solutions put in place. And if you're making cross border payments, they are even more stringent, there's no guarantee that your card will work.

[+] [Callout] Success Insert title here [+] [Callout] Title/Title with Icon -> Don't try to manually type out the address from our portal. Crypto wallet addresses are typically 40 characters long and are case sensitive, so it's super easy to miss a character or use the wrong case.
If even one character is amiss and you make the payment, your funds will never make it to Trustname and will be gone forever. Also, watch out that you don't accidentally add spaces in the address field. Always copy the wallet address and paste it directly into your crypto wallet app.
Also, make sure that you select the exact same Blockchain network in your crypto wallet or exchange app as the network we specify in the crypto payment portal on Trustname. For example, ERC20 tokens must be sent to an ERC20 address. If you send ERC20 tokens to a BSC or TRC20 address, the funds will be lost forever and cannot be recovered by anyone, including us.

Preventing Failed Crypto Payments On Trustname
Unlike traditional payments, crypto payments are non-reversible, so you should ensure you take the right steps to ensure your payments don't run into any issues.
Follow these steps.
- Make Sure The Crypto And Networks Match
Make sure the cryptocurrency you choose in your Trustname portal is what you send from your crypto wallet. For example, you should only send Bitcoin (BTC) to the BTC wallet address Trustname gives you.
Also, make sure that the cryptocurrency network specified on Trustname is the one you choose in your crypto wallet app.
- Avoid Manually Copying The Address
Another very important precaution is to ensure you never manually copy the crypto wallet address from your Trustname portal. It's easy to make a mistake this way and lose your crypto.
Copy the address using the copy button and paste it directly into your crypto app. Or better still, use the QR scanner in your crypto app to scan the wallet address in your Trustname portal.
- Ensure Your Crypto Wallet Is Funded
And finally, ensure that your crypto wallet is funded enough to cover the transaction and any extra gas fees. Insufficient funds in your wallet will stop the transaction from going through.
