The process of republishing a Webflow domain can typically take a few minutes to a few hours after updating new card details. Here are the steps involved in this process:

  1. Payment method update: Log in to your Webflow account and go to the Project Settings of the desired website. Under the Billing section, update your payment details with the new card information.

  2. Payment verification: After updating the card details, Webflow will verify the new payment method. This may involve a small test charge to ensure the card is valid. Once the verification is successful, Webflow will process the payment for any outstanding charges.

  3. Domain reactivation: Once the payment is processed and verified, Webflow will reactivate your domain. This process involves re-publishing your website to the Webflow servers and making it live again.

  4. DNS propagation: After reactivating the domain, DNS propagation needs to occur. This process can take some time, usually ranging from a few minutes to up to 48 hours. During this period, your website may not be accessible to all users as the updated DNS information propagates across the internet.

  5. Testing and verification: After the DNS propagation is complete, make sure to test and verify that your website is functioning correctly. Check if your website loads properly, forms are working, and any third-party integrations or custom code are functioning as expected.

By following these steps, you should be able to republish your Webflow domain after updating your card details. Remember that the actual time it takes for the domain to be re-published may vary depending on various factors such as the current load on Webflow servers, DNS propagation time, and the verification process.
