Frequently asked questions about captured.dot

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for fraud prevention?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

Can a partner registrar like NicNames help me register captured.dot?

Yes. domain.pay works with partner registrar NicNames to handle the back-end registration of captured.dot within the .PAY registry. You place your pre-order or priority request for captured.dot through domain.pay, and NicNames processes it. Start your captured.dot order at https://domain.pay/register.

For payroll disbursements, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

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.

Does holding captured.dot guarantee regulatory approval?

No, holding captured.dot does not grant or guarantee any regulatory or licensing approval for payment services; those come from your jurisdiction's authorities. The .PAY registry validates domain use, not your regulatory standing. domain.pay handles only the registration side at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for fraud prevention?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

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.
