Frequently asked questions about metropole.dot

As a donation platform, 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.

Where do I pre-order once I've chosen over metropole.dot?

Once you've chosen a name over metropole.dot, you pre-order it on domain.pay's register page at the standard $100, with failed attempts refundable. The flow is the same whether you pick metropole.dot or a metropole.dot variant. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Does .PAY have anti-abuse rules for marketplace payouts?

Amazon Registry policies include abuse-prevention rules for .PAY, and registrants remain subject to applicable domain dispute and abuse procedures. For legitimate registration or pre-order, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Pair the domain with monitoring, SSL and clear customer messaging.

Can metropole.dot move from premium back to standard pricing?

It can — Amazon Registry Services may reclassify metropole.dot, so a premium metropole.dot could later register at standard pricing, or vice versa. There's no guaranteed direction or date. Because registry status can change, re-check metropole.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I move a .PAY domain between registrars for fraud prevention?

Transfers may be subject to registry, registrar and phase-specific rules, especially for LRP names. Start with domain.pay for the registration path and confirm eligibility before any transfer plan: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
