Frequently asked questions about codes.dot

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for a travel booking brand?

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.

Can codes.dot host a fundraiser thermometer page?

Yes. A goal-tracking fundraiser page on codes.dot lets supporters watch progress and donate at one trusted address. The .PAY name keeps the giving step front and center. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for mobile money?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I submit my SMD file when registering codes.dot?

During the trademark-priority flow for codes.dot, NicNames presents an upload field where you attach the .smd file exported from the Trademark Clearinghouse. The system parses the encoded mark and confirms the codes.dot label matches your validated trademark. Once accepted, your priority claim on codes.dot is queued. Upload it at https://domain.pay/register.

How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages for a donation platform?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

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.
