Frequently asked questions about machete.dot

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for BNPL checkout?

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.

Does a pre-order for machete.dot include the first year of registration?

When a pre-order for machete.dot succeeds, it results in a registration term for machete.dot as described at checkout. The standard pre-order is listed at $100, and if the attempt fails the fee is refundable per the stated policy. Review what is included for machete.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For crypto payments, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Why is machete.dot more expensive than other .PAY names?

A higher price for machete.dot usually means the registry has classified machete.dot as premium, assigning it a special wholesale rate above the standard fee. That decision is Amazon Registry Services', not domain.pay's, and it can change. See how premium pricing works at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for a mobile wallet team?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

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.
