Frequently asked questions about candu.dot
Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for loan repayments?
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.
Is the Trademark Clearinghouse the same as registering candu.dot directly?
No. The Trademark Clearinghouse validates your mark and issues an SMD file, but it does not register candu.dot itself. You still complete the actual registration of candu.dot through NicNames, supplying that SMD to unlock trademark priority. The two steps are separate: validate first, then register at https://domain.pay/register.
What is a .PAY domain and why does it matter for digital wallets?
For digital wallets, .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/.
Can a nonprofit use candu.dot to accept donations?
Yes. A nonprofit can route candu.dot to its donation page so supporters reach a clear, branded place to give. The .PAY suffix reads as a payment or contribution address tied to candu.dot. Nonprofits can pre-order candu.dot at /register.
Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for BNPL checkout?
A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
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.
