Frequently asked questions about afloat.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for a fintech founder?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

What is the smallest step I can take today toward owning afloat.dot?

The smallest step toward owning afloat.dot today is to place a standard pre-order for afloat.dot at the listed $100, which queues your request and is refundable if it fails per the stated policy. That secures your place in line for afloat.dot. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Where can I generate .PAY ideas for BNPL checkout?

For BNPL checkout, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

What can a SaaS reseller do with afloat.dot?

A reseller can present afloat.dot as the branded billing address for the plans it sells, keeping customers on a payment-native page. It looks more credible than a passthrough gateway link. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for BNPL checkout?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
