Frequently asked questions about catfish.dot

How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages for tax payments?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

What is the total cost to pre-order catfish.dot with VIP?

The total for catfish.dot with VIP equals the registration rate, $100 standard or the premium catfish.dot fee, plus the one-time VIP priority handling charge and any taxes shown at checkout. Each line is itemized before you confirm catfish.dot. See the running total at https://domain.pay/pricing.

As a travel booking brand, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

When does the standard $100 rate apply to catfish.dot?

The $100 standard rate applies to catfish.dot whenever the registry has not classified catfish.dot as a premium name. If catfish.dot is premium, a higher registry fee applies instead. Confirm which rate covers catfish.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order when choosing wallet.pay?

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.

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.
