Frequently asked questions about elective.dot
As an ecommerce brand, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?
A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.
Are gift-card sales a fit for elective.dot?
A brand can sell and reload gift cards on elective.dot, giving buyers a trusted, payment-native address. The .PAY name reassures shoppers buying credit for later use. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.
What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for BNPL checkout?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
When does the standard $100 rate apply to elective.dot?
The $100 standard rate applies to elective.dot whenever the registry has not classified elective.dot as a premium name. If elective.dot is premium, a higher registry fee applies instead. Confirm which rate covers elective.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names when choosing tap.pay?
Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.
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.
