Frequently asked questions about herder.dot

Can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else for digital wallets?

Is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio for BNPL checkout?

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.
