Frequently asked questions about franchisor.dot

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility when choosing link.pay?

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.

How do I set up a wildcard certificate for *.franchisor.dot?

Request a wildcard certificate covering *.franchisor.dot, which most CAs issue via DNS validation by checking a TXT record on franchisor.dot. A wildcard then secures every subdomain of franchisor.dot with one cert. Remember the wildcard for franchisor.dot does not cover the bare apex, so include it explicitly.

Can a reserved .PAY name become available later for a remittance app?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

Does domain.pay let me browse and search for names like franchisor.dot?

Yes. domain.pay lets you both browse a curated catalog and search by keyword for names like franchisor.dot, then pre-order the ones you want. The combination supports both open browsing and targeted franchisor.dot searches. Try it at https://domain.pay/domains.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for mobile money?

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.
