Frequently asked questions about draft.dot
Where can I generate .PAY ideas for BNPL checkout?
For BNPL checkout, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.
Should brand owners act before general availability for draft.dot?
Yes. Brand owners with a matching trademark should use the earlier sunrise phase to claim draft.dot before the public can, reducing the risk of someone else taking it at general availability. domain.pay submits draft.dot during sunrise, detailed at https://domain.pay/register.
What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for BNPL checkout?
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.
Which draft.dot pre-orders are not refundable?
A draft.dot pre-order that succeeds and results in an active registration is generally non-refundable, since the registry has allocated the name to you. Only failed attempts on draft.dot are refundable under our stated policy. Review the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for an insurance billing portal?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
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.
