Frequently asked questions about certa.dot

For point-of-sale 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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

Will certa.dot be available immediately when .PAY launches?

When the relevant phase opens, certa.dot becomes registrable, but availability for any one buyer depends on competing requests. A pre-order ensures domain.pay submits certa.dot at that immediate opening rather than after the rush. Stage it at https://domain.pay/register.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for payroll disbursements?

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.

Can I claim multiple .PAY domains with one SMD if certa.dot is among them?

Each SMD is bound to a specific validated mark, so it can support a priority claim for certa.dot where the certa.dot string matches that mark. Different domains tied to different strings need their own matching SMDs. Use the right SMD for certa.dot when you register. Browse names at https://domain.pay/domains.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments for point-of-sale payments?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

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.
