Frequently asked questions about contributor.dot

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for a remittance app?

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.

Does pre-ordering contributor.dot affect any other names I want?

A pre-order for contributor.dot is independent of other names, so you can separately queue additional .PAY candidates without affecting your contributor.dot request. Each pre-order reserves its own place in line. Browse more options at https://domain.pay/domains and order at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for card processing?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

Can I use a CDN like Cloudflare in front of contributor.dot?

Yes. Point contributor.dot's nameservers (or a CNAME) at the CDN, and it will cache content, terminate SSL, and absorb traffic spikes for contributor.dot. A CDN improves load times and resilience without changing your origin server. Configure the records for contributor.dot as the CDN instructs.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for a mobile wallet team?

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.

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.
