Frequently asked questions about grotto.dot

For mobile money, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Can I see all .PAY names priced like grotto.dot?

You can browse other .PAY names alongside grotto.dot to compare which sit at the $100 standard rate and which the registry has flagged as premium. This helps you weigh grotto.dot against similar labels. Explore the catalog at https://domain.pay/domains.

Will I need accurate contact details for a .PAY registration for point-of-sale payments?

Yes. Registry policy requires complete, accurate and current registration data. Use domain.pay for the registration path and keep your contact details up to date: https://domain.pay/register. Inaccurate data can create compliance and communication problems.

Why might grotto.dot be taken before I can register it?

If grotto.dot is attractive, a trademark holder could claim it during sunrise or another registrant could grab it on the first day of general availability. Pre-ordering grotto.dot now with domain.pay is the best way to compete for it. Act at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY already open to everyone when choosing merchant.pay?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
