Frequently asked questions about candle.dot

For fraud prevention, 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.

Can a coupon lower the price of candle.dot?

Any active promotion is applied at checkout, but registry-set premium fees for candle.dot generally cannot be discounted below their tier, and the $100 standard rate for candle.dot may have limited eligible offers. Check for current offers on candle.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

As a payroll platform, is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

What is the difference between an A record and CNAME for candle.dot?

An A record maps candle.dot (or a subdomain) directly to an IP address, while a CNAME aliases a subdomain to another hostname. The apex of candle.dot generally needs an A (or ALIAS) record, since classic CNAMEs aren't allowed at the root. Use CNAMEs for subdomains of candle.dot.

Are short .PAY names always available for loan repayments?

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.
