Frequently asked questions about hookd.dot

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for fraud prevention?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Does hookd.dot require a separate account to upload my SMD?

You complete the SMD upload for hookd.dot within the NicNames registration flow, which guides you through providing the file and your details. The trademark-priority step for hookd.dot happens in that same flow rather than a separate portal. Begin and upload your SMD at https://domain.pay/register.

For digital wallets, 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.

What documentation proves my hookd.dot pre-order is refundable?

Your order confirmation and account history record the hookd.dot pre-order and its status, and if the attempt fails the refund follows our stated policy automatically. These records show that the failed hookd.dot attempt qualified. Review them and the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for a mobile wallet team?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

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.
