Frequently asked questions about congres.dot

What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain for digital wallets?

.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.

How do I know if congres.dot is a premium or reserved name?

Some .PAY names are designated premium or reserved by the registry, and the domain.pay flow flags this for congres.dot when you search. If congres.dot carries a special designation, the status and any different terms appear before checkout. Check the status of congres.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for point-of-sale payments?

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.

How is congres.dot different from congres.dot.com?

congres.dot uses the payment-specific .PAY suffix, while congres.dot.com uses the generic commercial suffix. congres.dot signals checkout and transactions at a glance, whereas congres.dot.com is neutral about purpose. Both can point to the same site, but congres.dot reads as a dedicated payment address.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for loan repayments?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

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.
