This article outlines field validations for the contacts object in the
Create Registered Domain
call.
Wix checks only formal requirements of each field, such as the maximum number of characters. See the table at the end of the article for a complete list of formal requirements that Wix checks.
Wix doesn't check whether the actual domain registrar has additional requirements, for example that the postal code is valid in the specified country.
Therefore it's important to confirm the following points before calling Create Registered Domain:
If there is such a mismatch between the request and the registrar's requirements, the Create Registered Domain call succeeds, but the registration process can't succeed.
Then, you aren't immediately notified that the domain
can't be delivered and Wix tries to register the domain several times.
It may take up to 48 hours before the domain's status changes to
"FAILED_REGISTRATION".
Wix performs the following validations as part of the Create Registered Domain call:
