Quick answer
How do I transfer a .store domain?
A .store follows ICANN's gTLD transfer rules: unlock, auth code, then a request at TransferOffshore. The losing registrar has 5 days, and one year is added to the expiry date. Radix runs the registry; plan for a 60-day wait after registration. As of 19 October 2026, the .store transfer costs $55.99, billed once, paid in crypto.

What happens when a .store domain changes registrar?
Our research did not find a .store page in the registrar notes we used. So this page relies on the rules that bind every gTLD registrar, plus what is known for Radix's .online.
What is certain, because ICANN's Transfer Policy says it:
- the gaining registrar needs the auth code;
- the losing registrar has five calendar days, and silence means approval;
- the expiry date moves one year later, within the 10-year cap;
- a registrar may refuse within 60 days of registration or of a previous transfer.
What is likely but not confirmed: a 60-day registry lock like the one Radix applies to .online.
For shops, the real work is on the DNS side. Storefront platforms often ask you to add a CNAME and a TXT record. These records do not move with the registrar. They stay with your DNS host.
What should you check before moving a .store domain?
- If the .store is less than 60 days old, wait.
- Note your storefront's DNS records and who hosts them.
- Compare our price with the renewal price you would otherwise pay, since a transfer replaces that renewal.
- Ask support before you pay if RDAP shows anything unusual, such as a
serverHoldstatus.
What does a .store transfer cost?
$55.99 for the .store transfer, then $55.99/year to renew (all prices). The added year is part of that price, so the transfer counts as your next renewal.
Who uses .store domains?
Online stores, product launches and direct-to-consumer brands use .store. Tip: if the .store mirrors a .com shop, keep both pointing to the same platform during the move and check them side by side afterwards.
.store transfer questions
Is .store covered by ICANN transfer rules?
Yes. .store is a generic top-level domain, so ICANN's Transfer Policy applies to every registrar that sells it. That gives you the auth code process, a 5-day answer window and one year added at completion.
Does Radix lock a new .store?
We did not find a registry statement for .store. Radix applies a 60-day lock to .online, according to registrar notes, and ICANN lets registrars refuse transfers in the first 60 days. Plan for 60 days.
What if my .store shows serverHold?
That status is set by the registry, not the registrar. A domain on hold usually cannot transfer until the cause is fixed. Ask your current registrar why the hold was set, then write to our support before you pay.
