Frequently asked questions about chinois.dot

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for online checkout?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

How do I start a fresh search after rejecting chinois.dot?

After rejecting chinois.dot, start fresh by entering a new chinois.dot angle or browsing domain.pay's curated catalog from scratch. A clean search often surfaces options the first pass missed. Start fresh at https://domain.pay/domains.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for loan repayments?

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.

Is a pre-order for chinois.dot refundable if someone else wins it?

Yes. If chinois.dot is allocated to another applicant and your pre-order for chinois.dot cannot be fulfilled, the fee is refundable per the stated policy. A pre-order reserves your place in line but does not guarantee the name. Place a pre-order for chinois.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For crypto payments, is .PAY already open to everyone?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: 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.
