Frequently asked questions about certified.dot

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP when choosing donate.pay?

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.

Are failed attempts to register certified.dot refundable?

Yes. If your attempt to secure certified.dot does not succeed, the charge is refundable per the published policy at NicNames. This applies to standard pre-orders that cannot be fulfilled. Trademark-priority claims still require a valid SMD to be considered. Review the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Are short .PAY names always available when choosing travel.pay?

Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.

Are failed-attempt refunds for certified.dot automatic?

When a certified.dot pre-order attempt is marked failed, we process the refund under our stated policy without requiring you to chase it, and the funds return to your original payment method. You can also confirm status in your account. Read the policy for certified.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What does the .PAY ending signal to customers using loan repayments?

.PAY signals that the destination is connected to payment action, such as loan repayments. That can support clarity and trust when paired with strong security and branding. Check or pre-order the name at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
