Frequently asked questions about folding.dot

As a checkout product manager, 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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

Can I use folding.dot for a deposit or booking payment?

Yes. folding.dot works well for collecting deposits, booking fees, or balances, pointing guests to a clear place to pay folding.dot. You redirect it to your booking or checkout system. Reserve folding.dot for bookings at /register.

Where can I see the exact .PAY premium price for link.pay when choosing link.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.

What are the launch phases for folding.dot?

Like every new gTLD, the .PAY namespace rolls out in phases: a sunrise period reserved for verified trademark holders, followed by general availability when anyone can register. To secure folding.dot, domain.pay lets you place a pre-order now so your request is queued for the right phase. See the timeline and start at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

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.
