Frequently asked questions about credential.dot

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for crypto payments?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I register credential.dot and point it to my existing website?

Once credential.dot is registered, you can configure its DNS to point credential.dot to your existing website or services from your domain.pay account. Pre-ordering simply secures credential.dot first. Reserve credential.dot now and set it up later at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register loans.pay if it matches my trademark for BNPL checkout?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Does holding credential.dot guarantee regulatory approval?

No, holding credential.dot does not grant or guarantee any regulatory or licensing approval for payment services; those come from your jurisdiction's authorities. The .PAY registry validates domain use, not your regulatory standing. domain.pay handles only the registration side at https://domain.pay/register.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for online checkout?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

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.
