Frequently asked questions about cido.dot
How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing 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.
Is cido.dot a good choice for a checkout solution?
cido.dot is well suited to a checkout or point-of-sale solution, as these are core payment functions matching the .PAY namespace. The registry typically validates that intended use fits the TLD. domain.pay can register cido.dot for your checkout product at https://domain.pay/register.
Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order for digital wallets?
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.
Can cido.dot availability differ by registrar?
No — cido.dot's core status is set by Amazon Registry Services, so it's the same across registrars; what differs is the experience and tools, like domain.pay's first-day pre-order and trademark-priority support. Check cido.dot's registry status at https://domain.pay/domains.
How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for payroll disbursements?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
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.
