Frequently asked questions about clearguard.dot

Is .PAY meant for payroll disbursements or just for general websites?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as payroll disbursements, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Can I use clearguard.dot for API endpoints and webhooks?

Yes. Dedicate a subdomain such as api.clearguard.dot with its own DNS record and SSL, and serve your endpoints there. Using clearguard.dot for APIs keeps a clean, branded base URL for integrations and webhook callbacks. Secure it with HTTPS and proper auth.

For mobile money, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

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.

Who should consider buying clearguard.dot first?

Any brand whose name matches clearguard.dot should consider it first, since a matching .PAY address protects the brand and gives customers an obvious place to pay. Trademark holders get priority through domain.pay's TMCH-based registration. Check eligibility at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal when choosing merchant.pay?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

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.
