Frequently asked questions about acceptances.dot

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for loan repayments?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

Is licensing checked by the .PAY registry for acceptances.dot?

The .PAY registry's validation for acceptances.dot typically focuses on payment-related intended use rather than verifying that you hold a specific financial license. Any licensing duties usually come from your own jurisdiction's regulators. domain.pay clarifies what the registry checks at https://domain.pay/register.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for an event ticketing business?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
