Activate with a PIN: cash payment
Updated: 2026-07-31 · YaDominios
There are two payment paths and each has its own screen: by card you start at «My sites», fill in the form and pay at the end; in cash you do NOT use that form — you start at «Activate with a PIN» and pick your domain right there. If you pay in cash, you receive a PIN in the format YD-XXXX-XXXX. Sign in to your YaDominios account, open «Activate with a PIN», type the code, pick your domain, and your annual plan goes live instantly — exactly as if you had paid by card.
Before you start: pick your path
There are two ways to pay and each has its own screen. Picking first saves you the most common mistake: filling in the whole contracting form — domain owner details and all — only to find out at the end that yours was the other path.
| By card | In cash, with a PIN | |
|---|---|---|
| Where you start | Dashboard then My sites | Dashboard then Activate with a PIN |
| When you pick the domain | In the form, before paying | On the PIN screen itself |
| When you pay | At the end, at checkout | Already paid: the PIN IS the payment |
| Does it ask for a card? | Yes | Never |
If you have a PIN, don't fill in the contracting form. Your domain is picked inside the PIN screen, in a single step — and it will never ask you for a payment method.
The cash path
Not everyone pays by card, and that shouldn't leave you out. If you pay for your plan in cash, we hand you an activation PIN (format YD-XXXX-XXXX) worth exactly what you paid.
How to activate it
- Create your account (or sign in) at yapanel.yadominios.com.
- Open Activate with a PIN (there's also a link from the plans page).
- Type your PIN and pick your domain: register a new one (free if it's on the included list) or use one you already own.
- Press activate: your cloud and your working link go live instantly, and your invoice is recorded as paid in cash.
PIN safety
- Each PIN works exactly once — who used it and when is recorded.
- If anything fails during activation, your PIN is returned automatically so you can try again: you paid, and that's respected.
- Some PINs carry an expiration date; use yours as soon as you get it.
Frequently asked questions
What do I get when I pay in cash?
An activation PIN in the format YD-XXXX-XXXX worth your full annual plan, domain included. You activate it yourself in your account.
Can a PIN be used twice?
No. Each PIN activates a single plan and is recorded. If activation fails for any reason, the PIN is automatically returned so you can try again.
Is it different from paying by card?
No: it's exactly the same annual plan, with the same included domain and the same terms. Only the payment method changes.
