Frequently asked questions about instruction.dot

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.

Where do the eligibility rules for instruction.dot come from?

The eligibility and validation rules affecting instruction.dot are set by the .PAY registry, which is operated by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay applies these registry policies when handling your registration. You can review how to start and what's expected at https://domain.pay/register.

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for payroll disbursements?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Why use instruction.dot as a vanity payment link?

A vanity link like instruction.dot is far more memorable than a gateway-generated URL, so customers can return without searching. The .PAY ending also signals exactly what the link is for. Reserve your vanity name at https://domain.pay/register.

Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?

merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

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.
