Frequently asked questions about lessee.dot
Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for online checkout?
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.
How do I check if lessee.dot is available?
You can check availability for lessee.dot directly on domain.pay's registration flow, which queries the .PAY registry status. If lessee.dot is open, you can place a first-day pre-order; if a trademark window applies, the SMD path is offered. Start at /register.
For online checkout, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
Does domain.pay reserve lessee.dot on its own?
No — reservations on lessee.dot come from the registry, Amazon Registry Services, not from domain.pay. We display the registry's classification and let you pre-order or register lessee.dot when it's open. Check the registry status of lessee.dot at https://domain.pay/domains.
As a payroll platform, is there VIP help for a large .PAY pre-order portfolio?
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.
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.
