Frequently asked questions about captives.dot

For crypto payments, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?

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.

How long does it take to register captives.dot after I order?

After you order captives.dot, the time to register depends on the registry phase: a standard pre-order is held until captives.dot opens, while names already in general availability can process much faster. Amazon Registry Services controls launch timing for .PAY. Begin your order at https://domain.pay/register.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY as a startup for crypto payments?

For crypto payments, .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/.

How much does it cost to pre-order captives.dot?

The standard pre-order for captives.dot is $100, and per our policy a failed pre-order attempt is refundable if captives.dot can't be secured for you. Premium labels may carry a different registry-set price shown at checkout. Begin your captives.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for point-of-sale payments?

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.

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.
