Paying for PKNIC domain renewals on time
Most domain problems we see are caused by payments made too late rather than not at all. A .pk domain renewal has to be processed with PKNIC before the expiry date, and a bank transfer sent on a Friday evening or just before a public holiday may not clear until several days later. To be safe, pay renewal invoices at least a week before the due date, and use a mobile wallet such as Easypaisa or JazzCash if time is short, because those payments confirm within minutes. Always send the receipt with the invoice number so the renewal can be submitted immediately. If a domain has already expired, contact us straight away: the sooner payment is confirmed, the better the chance of restoring it before it moves into a more expensive redemption stage. Clients with many domains can align their renewal dates, so a single annual payment covers everything and nothing slips through.
Paying with a PKNIC prepaid card
A PKNIC prepaid card works like a mobile top-up card for your domain account. Each card has a 10-digit number and a 6-digit PIN, and redeeming it adds credit for one two-year registration or renewal of any PKNIC-managed extension, from .pk and .com.pk to .edu.pk and .gov.pk. Resellers, web designers and companies with several names buy cards in advance and redeem them from the billing section of their PKNIC account whenever a domain falls due, without raising a new invoice each time. Because the card price is fixed when you buy it, purchasing ahead of an announced PKNIC increase can also save money on future renewals. Cards can be paid for with any local method on this page, and the card codes normally reach your inbox shortly after payment is confirmed. Keep the codes private, as anyone holding them can redeem the credit, and note that cards apply to Pakistan-contact accounts only and cannot be refunded.
Payments for companies, institutions and government offices
Organisations often need a slightly different process from individual customers, and we accommodate that. Companies can pay by crossed cheque or online bank transfer from the company account, and we can issue the invoice in the organisation's registered name and address for your accounts department. If your procurement process requires a quotation, purchase order or vendor registration before payment, ask our sales team and we'll provide the documents in the format you need. Government departments, universities and schools registering .gov.pk or .edu.pk domains sometimes take several weeks to release payment, so start early, particularly for renewals, and let us know the expected date so we can plan around it. Where an organisation deducts tax at source, share the deduction certificate with us so the invoice can be reconciled correctly. A single point of contact can be assigned to accounts that manage many domains, mailboxes or hosting services.
Paying several invoices in one payment
If you hold several domains or hosting services, you don't need to send a separate bank transfer for each one. In your client area, open the list of unpaid invoices, select the ones you want to settle, and choose the option to pay them together. The system combines them into a single total, so you make one payment and send one receipt, and every selected invoice is marked paid once we confirm it. This is particularly useful for agencies managing client domains, companies with domains and hosting on different renewal dates, and anyone renewing a batch of .pk names at the same time. To keep things even simpler, ask our billing team to align your services onto one renewal date, so future invoices arrive together each year. When paying a combined total by bank transfer, mention all the invoice numbers in the transfer reference or your message, which helps us match the amount quickly.
Adding funds and using account credit
Your client area includes an account balance that you can top up in advance. Adding funds works like a prepaid wallet: you deposit an amount through any of our payment methods, and future invoices for renewals, new domains or hosting upgrades are paid from that balance automatically, or with a single click. This suits customers who want to avoid last-minute payments, resellers who place frequent orders, and overseas clients who prefer to send one larger international transfer instead of several small ones with separate fees. Credit can also be added to your account when an overpayment is made, or when we agree a refund for an unused service, so the value isn't lost. You can check your balance and a history of credit transactions in the billing section at any time. Remember that domain renewals still depend on enough credit being available before the due date, so keep the balance topped up.
Paying securely
Card payments are processed through a secure, encrypted checkout gateway — we never see or store your full card number on our own systems at any point. Bank transfers and mobile wallet payments are made directly to the accounts listed below, so always double-check the account title and number against what's shown clearly on this page before sending, and be wary of any message claiming to be from us that asks you to pay into a different or unfamiliar account.
Paying from outside Pakistan
Overseas Pakistanis and international clients registering .pk domains or ordering hosting most commonly pay via PayPal, which handles the currency conversion automatically at checkout, or via Western Union or MoneyGram for larger renewal or hosting amounts. Whichever method you use, the same rule applies — send the proof of payment referencing your invoice or order number so it can be matched and confirmed as quickly as possible on our end.
