Backorders

Place a backorder on a taken domain

Watches a domain that is currently registered to someone else and automatically registers it for you when it becomes available (drops) - availability is polled every few minutes, so the catch lands within minutes of the drop. You are charged only if and when the catch succeeds - no upfront fee. A price cap protects you from a registration-price spike between now and the drop.

Requires a payment method on file (card) or payment_method: "balance" so the catch can be paid when it happens. Best-effort: a contested drop may be taken by a specialized drop-catcher first.
