Frequently asked questions about dunes.dot

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for BNPL checkout?

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.

How does NicNames verify my SMD signature for dunes.dot?

NicNames checks the cryptographic signature embedded in your SMD against the Trademark Clearinghouse's trust chain before granting priority on dunes.dot. If the signature and mark match the dunes.dot string, the claim proceeds. A broken or mismatched signature blocks priority on dunes.dot. Submit a valid file at https://domain.pay/register.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP when choosing loans.pay?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

How do I renew dunes.dot after the initial registration?

After dunes.dot is registered, you renew dunes.dot from your domain.pay account before its expiry, on the terms shown at checkout. Renewal pricing is separate from the $100 pre-order fee. See renewal terms for dunes.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for fraud prevention?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

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.
