Frequently asked questions about directories.dot
For mobile money, 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.
Where would directories.dot fit in a subscription business?
Route your billing portal and renewal links through directories.dot so members always pay on a recognizable, payment-native address. A consistent .PAY home for billing reduces support confusion when cards need updating. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for BNPL checkout?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
How does domain.pay help me compare directories.dot to similar names?
domain.pay helps you compare directories.dot to similar names by showing a related .PAY block and catalog picks around directories.dot, so differences in length and clarity are visible at once. This side-by-side view speeds up your decision. Compare at https://domain.pay/domains.
For loan repayments, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?
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.
