Frequently asked questions about buff.dot

For loan repayments, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Who decides whether buff.dot is premium-priced?

Amazon Registry Services, the operator of the .PAY top-level domain, decides premium classification, so it determines whether buff.dot carries a premium fee or the $100 standard rate. We pass through the registry tier for buff.dot. Confirm the current classification for buff.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What does it mean if a .PAY name is premium for digital wallets?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

Should I secure buff.dot before announcing a new payment product?

Yes. Announcing a payment product can alert opportunists to register buff.dot before you do, so securing the buff.dot name first is wise. A $100 refundable pre-order lets NicNames lock buff.dot ahead of any public reveal. https://domain.pay/register

Are short .PAY names always available for a donation platform?

Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.

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.
