Should a game studio use cage.dot for store purchases?

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for payroll disbursements?
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.
