Your privacy

With a PayFar card, nobody needs your Gandi login

Every other route asks you to hand over your Gandi username and password, or to buy a login that belongs to someone else. PayFar issues a Visa card to you instead, you pay Gandi yourself, from your own account.

Resellers and shared accounts

They pay on your behalf: with access to your account

  • They ask for your Gandi email and password to pay for you
  • You wait hours: sometimes a day, for someone to process the order by hand
  • A middleman fee on top of the exchange rate, never itemised
  • One card funds dozens of accounts: they get flagged together

PayFar

You pay, yourself؛ we only issue the card

  • With the card you pay yourself: no username or password is ever handed to anyone
  • Pay Gandi the moment you decide to: the charge clears instantly, at 3am if you like
  • No extra payment fee: just the rate of the day, shown before you confirm
No credentialsYour account never leaves your hands

Nobody logs into your Gandi account but you. There is no shared password, no session on someone else's laptop, and nothing to revoke later.

InstantSeconds, not hours

You enter the card at Gandi checkout and the charge settles from your balance in seconds. No order queue, no operator, no waiting for business hours.

No hidden feeExactly what the service charges

Gandi charges its own price and PayFar adds no payment fee and no monthly card fee. The conversion rate is quoted before you confirm.

Payments that go through

What makes a Gandi payment go through

1An expired card can cost you the domain

Domains and security tools renew annually, and registrars are ruthless about lapses, grace periods end and names go back to the open market. Auto-renew against a live card is the whole game with Gandi.

2First-year prices are bait؛ budget for renewal

Registrars and VPNs discount year one and bill the real price at renewal. Nothing dishonest, but the card needs to cover the second-year figure, not the teaser.

3Security tools should not run through shared accounts

A password manager or private email bought through someone else's login defeats its own purpose. Pay for Gandi from your own account and the trust chain starts and ends with you.

Questions

Buying from Gandi: common questions

How much does a domain cost on Gandi?

Gandi plans: .com $11/yr, .net $18.78/yr, .xyz $17.75/yr, .us $15.50/yr, .co.uk $9.88/yr. Prices are exactly what Gandi charges; PayFar adds no monthly card fee, and the conversion rate is quoted before you confirm.

How do I buy a domain from Gandi with a Visa card?

Open a PayFar account; the virtual Visa card is issued in under 3 minutes. Top up at least $11, enter the card number, expiry and CVV at the Gandi checkout, and set the billing country to the one on your PayFar profile. The charge clears in seconds.

What is the cheapest Gandi plan?

.fr, at $8/yr. The most expensive is .io, at $60/yr.

What happens to my Gandi renewal if the card balance is empty that day?

Most services retry for a few days before anything lapses, and PayFar's low-balance alert warns you first. Top up, the retry passes, nothing expires.

Should I buy one year or several?

For a domain you care about, several, renewal-price surprises skip you entirely. For VPNs and tools, the long plans are where the real discount lives anyway.

Can I move an existing domain onto this card?

Yes: update the payment method at your registrar, or transfer the domain to one that accepts the card. Either way the renewal chain ends up on a card you control.
