Frequently asked questions about behaviors.dot
Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for online checkout?
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 should robots.txt be configured for behaviors.dot?
Place a robots.txt at the root of behaviors.dot that allows crawling of public pages, disallows admin or duplicate paths, and points to your sitemap. Be careful not to accidentally block all of behaviors.dot with a stray Disallow: /. Test the file in Search Console after deploying.
Can a reserved .PAY name become available later for an ecommerce brand?
The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.
How does behaviors.dot signal purpose better than a generic domain?
A generic domain says nothing about what happens there, but behaviors.dot states payment in the suffix itself. Visitors reading behaviors.dot expect to pay behaviors.dot, which sets the right context immediately. That built-in meaning is the core advantage of .PAY.
Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for fraud prevention?
A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.
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.
