Frequently asked questions about handcuffs.dot

As a regional bank, can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

Can I claim multiple .PAY domains with one SMD if handcuffs.dot is among them?

Each SMD is bound to a specific validated mark, so it can support a priority claim for handcuffs.dot where the handcuffs.dot string matches that mark. Different domains tied to different strings need their own matching SMDs. Use the right SMD for handcuffs.dot when you register. Browse names at https://domain.pay/domains.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for a mobile wallet team?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

How does handcuffs.dot fit a deposit-and-balance model?

For businesses that take a deposit then a final balance, handcuffs.dot hosts both steps on the same trusted address. Customers recognize the .PAY name across the two payments, reducing friction on the second. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for BNPL checkout?

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.

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.
