Frequently asked questions about engineers.dot

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout for a travel booking brand?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Why secure engineers.dot early through pre-order?

Pre-ordering engineers.dot lets you stake a claim to the matching payment address before general availability, and standard pre-order is listed at $100. If an attempt fails, it's refundable per policy, so reserving early is low-risk. See terms and pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For BNPL checkout, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Does engineers.dot work for a peer-to-peer payment app?

engineers.dot is a good fit for a peer-to-peer payment app, since transferring money is squarely payment-related and aligns with the .PAY namespace. The registry typically validates such use favorably. domain.pay can register engineers.dot for your P2P app at https://domain.pay/register.

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for a fintech founder?

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.

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.
