Frequently asked questions about candel.dot

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for digital wallets?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What happens if I let candel.dot expire?

After expiry, candel.dot enters a grace period during which you can usually still renew at the standard price, followed by a redemption period that may carry a higher restoration fee. If no one renews, candel.dot is eventually released back to the registry. Renew early via /pricing to avoid the lifecycle stages entirely.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY with a trademark for loan repayments?

For loan repayments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Does pre-ordering candel.dot lock in the standard price?

A $100 standard pre-order covers the queueing for candel.dot, but the final registration price still depends on candel.dot's registry classification — premium labels carry the registry's rate. Amazon Registry Services can change pricing. Check candel.dot's details at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For mobile money, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

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.
