Frequently asked questions about defrost.dot

Would travel.pay work as a payment brand for an ecommerce brand?

travel.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.

Can defrost.dot simply redirect to my existing payment processor?

Yes. Many owners point defrost.dot as a redirect to a Stripe, PayPal, or custom checkout link, so customers see the clean defrost.dot address while the processor handles the transaction. You keep your existing setup and gain a memorable front door. Register defrost.dot at /register.

For mobile money, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

Can I use defrost.dot for API endpoints and webhooks?

Yes. Dedicate a subdomain such as api.defrost.dot with its own DNS record and SSL, and serve your endpoints there. Using defrost.dot for APIs keeps a clean, branded base URL for integrations and webhook callbacks. Secure it with HTTPS and proper auth.

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for online checkout?

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.

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.
