Registration Tips: Paytag Rules - What’s Allowed & What’s Not
On Yapdoof, there are two types of Paytags, each serving a unique purpose but both following strict guidelines to ensure security, consistency, and clarity:
1. Primary Paytag (Registration Paytag)- This is your unique identity on the platform, much like a username.
- It’s used when others make payments to you or when you make payments to others on Yapdoof.
- It’s visible to other users and represents you across the app.
- This identifies each wallet you create within the app.
- Every Wallet Paytag automatically generates a public e-commerce webpage where you can list items or services for sale (or leave it empty).
- People can visit this page, view your listings, and make purchases directly through it.
Regardless of the Paytag type, the following rules apply to ensure your Paytag is valid:
✅ What’s Allowed- Alphanumeric Characters: Only letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and underscores (_) are permitted.
- At Least One Letter: Your Paytag must include at least one letter. It cannot be made up of numbers only.
- Length Limit: The Paytag must be 30 characters or fewer.
- No Empty Paytags: Every Paytag is required. You can't leave it blank.
- No "#" or "@" Symbol Prefix: Don’t add any special character prefix to your Paytag. The system handles any necessary prefixes.
- No Restricted Words: Certain terms are banned to protect users and maintain a trusted platform. Avoid these words:
- yapdoof
- porn
- xxx
- admin
- support
- help
- gov / govt / nigeria / ngo
- helpline
- primary / secondary / app
- omept / omeptech / omepttechnology and related variations
- No Spaces or Special Characters: Spaces, special symbols, and punctuation are not allowed—just letters, numbers, and underscores.
- No Paytags That Are Just Numbers: You can't use a string of numbers alone (e.g.,
123456is not valid). - No Overly Long Paytags: Keep it within 30 characters.
- Your Primary Paytag is your personal payment handle. It identifies people that sends or receives money.
- Your Wallet Paytags create public storefronts. A valid Paytag ensures your store page is easily accessible and professional.
