Frequently asked questions about directives.dot
For online checkout, who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period?
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.
How do I add Google Analytics tracking to directives.dot?
Place your Analytics or Tag Manager snippet in the head of every page on directives.dot, then confirm hits appear in real-time reports. Make sure the tag's configured domain matches directives.dot and any subdomains you track. Cross-domain tracking is needed if directives.dot links to other hosts you own.
What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for cross-border payments?
.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.
Should I register directives.dot even if I have no immediate use for it?
Yes. Defensive registration of directives.dot keeps the official directives.dot payment name out of impersonators' hands even before you build anything on it. With a $100 pre-order and refunds on failure, holding directives.dot now is cheaper than a later dispute. https://domain.pay/register
When is broader .PAY public registration expected for loan repayments?
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.
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.
