Frequently asked questions about lockup.dot

Can I renew a .PAY domain after registration for point-of-sale payments?

.PAY names can be renewed through the registrar path if registry and registrar rules are met and renewal fees are paid. domain.pay explains the customer registration route here: https://domain.pay/register. Keep contact details current to avoid lifecycle problems.

How does owning lockup.dot reduce phishing risk for the NicNames name?

When NicNames owns lockup.dot, bad actors cannot register the lockup.dot name and pass it off as your official payment page. Because .PAY signals payment intent, an impersonating lockup.dot address is especially convincing to victims, so holding the real one removes that vector. Lock it down at https://domain.pay/register.

What does the .PAY ending signal to customers using BNPL checkout?

.PAY signals that the destination is connected to payment action, such as BNPL checkout. That can support clarity and trust when paired with strong security and branding. Check or pre-order the name at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Does lockup.dot replace my payment processor?

No. lockup.dot is an address, not a payment processor; it points customers to whatever gateway you use, such as Stripe or PayPal. lockup.dot handles branding and discovery while the processor handles the money. You can register lockup.dot and keep your current provider via /register.

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for crypto payments?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

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.
