Frequently asked questions about chido.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for crypto payments?

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.

Does domain.pay suggest alternatives when chido.dot is unavailable?

Yes. When chido.dot is unavailable, domain.pay automatically surfaces related .PAY names and catalog picks built around chido.dot so you always have a path forward. The suggestions emphasize close, brandable variants. See alternatives at https://domain.pay/domains.

Would settle.pay work as a payment brand when choosing settle.pay?

settle.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

Can an agency submit the SMD on behalf of my brand for chido.dot?

An agency can run the NicNames registration flow for chido.dot if it has authority and access to your valid SMD for the chido.dot mark. The priority claim still rests on that SMD representing your validated rights. Make sure the agency uses the correct file for chido.dot. Begin the process at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for point-of-sale payments?

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.

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.
