Frequently asked questions about fai.dot

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal for mobile money?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

Does the registry charge premium pricing on some .PAY names like fai.dot?

Some highly sought names may carry premium registry pricing above the standard $100 pre-order, while fai.dot may fall under standard pricing. The availability tool shows the exact price for fai.dot before you commit. Confirm the tier for fai.dot and full terms at /pricing.

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for a mobile wallet team?

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.

Why might NicNames ask me to re-export my SMD for fai.dot?

NicNames may ask you to re-export your SMD for fai.dot if the submitted file is expired, malformed, or no longer matches your active TMCH record. A fresh export from the Clearinghouse resolves these issues for fai.dot. Re-download the current .smd and retry at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY meant for crypto payments or just for general websites for a bank or credit union?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as crypto payments, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
