Frequently asked questions about element.dot
How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for crypto payments?
A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.
How does element.dot support compliance and trust audits?
Demonstrating that NicNames owns the official element.dot payment name helps satisfy auditors and partners who expect you to control your payment-facing domains. Owning element.dot provides clear evidence of that control. https://domain.pay/
For loan repayments, how do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
Can holding element.dot stop QR-code payment scams using my name?
Owning element.dot denies scammers the real element.dot address that QR-code scams often imitate, so a fraudulent code cannot resolve to your genuine payment name. It weakens the scam without fully eliminating QR fraud, which still needs customer awareness. https://domain.pay/register
Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 when choosing tap.pay?
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.
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.
