Frequently asked questions about kbi.dot

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.

Will I be refunded if my pre-order for kbi.dot fails?

Yes. If a pre-order attempt for kbi.dot does not result in a successful registration, the fee is refundable per the stated policy. This applies when kbi.dot cannot be allocated to you for reasons outside your control. Review terms and start at https://domain.pay/register.

Is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio when choosing tap.pay?

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.

How do I choose between kbi.dot and a coined alternative for trademarks?

For trademark strength, a coined alternative may protect more easily than the descriptive kbi.dot, though kbi.dot reads clearer for kbi.dot. domain.pay shows both so you can weigh protectability against clarity. Note that mark holders can claim TMCH SMD priority. Compare at https://domain.pay/domains.

For point-of-sale payments, how can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

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.
