{
  "checkout_url": "https://checkout.example.com/c/pay/...",
  "session_id": "cs_live_...",
  "domain_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "domain": "coolstartup.ai",
  "price": "$25",
  "expires_at": "2026-05-02T11:30:00Z",
  "hint": "Open the checkout URL to complete payment. The domain will be registered automatically."
}

price is dynamic — the registrar’s live wholesale quote for this exact domain plus a flat **

2** Naïve markup (from `GET /v1/domains/search`). The `

25` shown is an example, not a fixed price; it varies by TLD and domain. Charged in USD at checkout, not in credits. After payment, check GET /v1/domains to verify the domain status has changed from pending_payment to active.

May require approval. If the user’s Account Kit gates domains.purchase, an agent (API-key) call returns 202 { "status": "pending_approval", "approval_id" } instead of creating the checkout. A human approves it via Approvals; the purchase runs on replay. See Approvals.
