Place your first backorder
Submit a backorder on Dropcatch.st with starting bid, max bid, and payment readiness.
Step 1: Sign in with your network account. If you are new, register on Dot.st first and verify your email.
Step 2: Search for the domain on Dropcatch.st or find it on the droplist. Open the domain detail page.
Step 3: Click Place backorder or equivalent action on the page. Review any droplist timing information shown — drop times are estimates.
Step 4: Enter your starting bid — the amount you agree to pay if you win without a contested auction.
Step 5: Enter your max bid — the highest whole-dollar amount you authorize if the name goes to auction on Premium.st.
Step 6: Confirm payment readiness. Dropcatch may place a wallet hold on Dot.st up to your max bid. Ensure Billing on Dot.st has enough balance or a working card.
Step 7: Submit the backorder. Status appears in your Backorders list. You can review holds from Dot.st Billing.
Step 8: Before drop time, avoid lowering wallet balance below active holds. Enable auto top-up on Dot.st if helpful.
Backorders do not guarantee a catch. If you need to change or cancel, check whether your current status allows it, then contact dot.st/support with the domain name.
