Frequently asked questions about guideline.dot

Is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio when choosing tap.pay?

domain.pay says customers with pre-orders over $8,888 may qualify for VIP handling, dedicated support and more tailored failed-registration solutions. Review the current VIP language on the pricing page: https://domain.pay/pricing. Large portfolios should still expect availability and premium checks.

Are pre-order fees for guideline.dot refundable?

Yes — per our policy, if a pre-order attempt for guideline.dot fails to secure the name, the fee is refundable. The standard pre-order is $100. See refund and process details when you place your order for guideline.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for fraud prevention?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

Is guideline.dot good for a charity auction site?

A charity auction can settle winning bids on guideline.dot, giving winners a trusted address to pay. The .PAY name reassures bidders entering card details after the event. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for a crypto or DeFi product?

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.

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.
