Frequently asked questions about faction.dot

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

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Can I register faction.dot after general availability opens?

Yes, faction.dot remains registrable after general availability opens if it has not already been taken. The risk is that popular names go quickly, so pre-ordering faction.dot avoids relying on availability later. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for loan repayments?

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 much does a standard pre-order for faction.dot cost?

A standard pre-order for faction.dot is listed at $100 through NicNames. This pre-order path is separate from trademark priority, which requires a TMCH SMD file. If your pre-order attempt fails, it is refundable per the published policy. See full pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For BNPL checkout, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

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.
