Frequently asked questions about carats.dot
Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for loan repayments?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
Why centralize subscriptions on carats.dot?
When a brand sells several subscription tiers, carats.dot gives customers one payment-native hub to manage them all. A single .PAY address simplifies upgrades, downgrades, and card updates. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
Can a fintech founder use .PAY for a branded payment page for a fintech founder?
Yes. A fintech founder can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
Can the launch schedule for carats.dot change?
Registry schedules can shift, but carats.dot always follows the same phase order: sunrise then general availability. By pre-ordering carats.dot, domain.pay tracks any schedule changes and submits at the correct moment for you. Stay covered at https://domain.pay/register.
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window when choosing tap.pay?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
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.
