Frequently asked questions about distrowatch.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for point-of-sale payments?

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.

Should I act fast if distrowatch.dot shows available?

If distrowatch.dot shows available, acting promptly reduces the risk someone else registers distrowatch.dot first, since open names can be claimed at any time. There's no obligation, but availability isn't reserved for you until you register. Secure distrowatch.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a donation platform use .PAY for a branded payment page for fraud prevention?

Yes. A donation platform can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Is distrowatch.dot a fit for a one-page payment microsite?

A single-purpose payment microsite shines on distrowatch.dot, where the address itself explains the page. With no other navigation to distract, customers focus on paying. Reserve the name at https://domain.pay/register.

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names for BNPL checkout?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

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.
