Frequently asked questions about cts.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 when choosing tap.pay?

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.

Is NicNames a better fit than cts.dot for my idea?

Whether NicNames fits better than cts.dot depends on how cleanly each captures cts.dot and reads as a payment name. domain.pay lets you place NicNames and cts.dot side by side to judge clarity and recall. Compare them at https://domain.pay/domains.

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for digital wallets?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

Where do I manage the DNS settings for cts.dot?

You manage nameservers and DNS records for cts.dot from your account's domain dashboard. From there you can edit A, CNAME, MX, and TXT records and toggle auto-renew for cts.dot. Open the dashboard at /domains to make changes.

As a bank or credit union, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

subscriptions.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

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.
