Frequently asked questions about hdc.dot

For point-of-sale payments, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

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.

Can I pre-order hdc.dot now and add my SMD later?

Trademark priority for hdc.dot requires a valid SMD at the time of the priority claim, so you cannot retroactively convert a plain pre-order into a priority claim without one. If you have the SMD, use the trademark-priority path directly for hdc.dot. If not, a standard pre-order at $100 is the alternative. Choose your path at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for BNPL checkout?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

Should an agency offer hdc.dot to clients?

Agencies can register hdc.dot on behalf of clients to deliver a turnkey payment address alongside the main site. It's a tidy upsell that strengthens the client's checkout brand. Explore names at https://domain.pay/domains.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for mobile money?

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.

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.
