Frequently asked questions about balen.dot

For online checkout, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?

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.

How early should I lock an alternative before balen.dot resolves?

Lock an alternative as soon as you find a clear, available balen.dot variant, rather than waiting for balen.dot to resolve, since refundable $100 pre-orders make early action low-risk. domain.pay lets you secure a fallback immediately. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for online checkout?
