Frequently asked questions about cipher.dot
How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain when choosing subscriptions.pay?
A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.
Is cipher.dot useful for a SaaS upgrade flow?
Routing upgrade and add-on purchases through cipher.dot keeps paying customers on a recognizable address during the most revenue-critical step. The .PAY ending signals a secure billing action inside your product. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
As an insurance billing portal, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
How do I know my pre-order for cipher.dot was received?
Once you submit a pre-order for cipher.dot, your domain.pay account confirms it was received and shows cipher.dot in your queued orders. You will see status changes as the registry processes cipher.dot. Confirm and view your cipher.dot pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
As a crypto or DeFi product, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?
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.
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.
