Frequently asked questions about minting.dot

Is .PAY meant for digital wallets or just for general websites?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as digital wallets, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Should I wait for general availability to buy minting.dot?

Waiting until general availability opens means competing in real time with everyone else for minting.dot. Instead, place a first-day pre-order now so domain.pay submits your request the instant the phase opens. That removes the scramble. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

As a retail brand, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

How often does the status of minting.dot change?

There's no fixed schedule — Amazon Registry Services can reclassify minting.dot as policies evolve or as registrations and releases occur. A reserved label might open, or an available one might be claimed. Because registry status can change, re-check minting.dot at https://domain.pay/domains before acting.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for loan repayments?

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.

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.
