Frequently asked questions about downside.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.

Will downside.dot suit a peer-to-peer money transfer app?

P2P transfer apps thrive on a name people trust to send money, and downside.dot states that purpose plainly. Using it for your send and request flows keeps the brand consistent across SMS and social shares. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

What does the .PAY ending signal to customers using online checkout?

.PAY signals that the destination is connected to payment action, such as online checkout. That can support clarity and trust when paired with strong security and branding. Check or pre-order the name at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Does claiming downside.dot with an SMD stop others from using my brand elsewhere?

Claiming downside.dot with an SMD secures that specific .PAY name for your downside.dot mark, but it does not by itself police your brand on other domains or platforms. TMCH priority is name-specific. Use it to lock down downside.dot, then consider other names separately. Start with downside.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for marketplace payouts?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

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.
