Frequently asked questions about clientchoice.dot

For loan repayments, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Why was my clientchoice.dot pre-order refunded?

A refund on clientchoice.dot usually means the pre-order attempt failed, for example because the registry allocated the name elsewhere or it never reached general availability. Failed attempts are refundable under our stated policy. See refund details for clientchoice.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How do I register a .PAY domain with a trademark for loan repayments?

Trademark holders should use the trademark fast-track on domain.pay instead of waiting: https://domain.pay/register. domain.pay can route the request through the TMCH/SMD-based priority process when the .PAY label matches the trademark and the registry rules allow it.

Can I lock clientchoice.dot to specific certificate authorities only?

Yes, via a CAA record you restrict which CAs may issue certificates for clientchoice.dot, reducing mis-issuance risk. List each authorized CA's identifier for clientchoice.dot in DNS. Combine the CAA on clientchoice.dot with monitoring of Certificate Transparency logs for full coverage.

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for BNPL checkout?

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.

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.
