Frequently asked questions about modus.dot
For BNPL checkout, 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.
Is modus.dot useful even if I already have a payment page?
Yes. You can keep your existing payment page and point modus.dot at it as a cleaner, more shareable front door for modus.dot. Customers get a short address while nothing about your processor changes. Add modus.dot to your stack via /register.
What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 when choosing travel.pay?
Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Should I redirect modus.dot with a 301 or 302?
Use a 301 when the move is permanent so search engines transfer ranking signals to the destination of modus.dot; use a 302 only for temporary forwarding. For a brand domain like modus.dot pointing at your main site indefinitely, 301 is almost always correct. Avoid chaining multiple redirects.
For fraud prevention, when does the .PAY LRP1 period begin?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: 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.
