Frequently asked questions about motive.dot

Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for mobile money?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Can motive.dot serve as a hosted donation portal for events?

Yes. Spin up an event giving page on motive.dot so attendees pledge from their phones on a memorable address. A short .PAY name on the stage screen converts better than a cramped gateway link. Reserve it ahead of your event at https://domain.pay/register.

Does .PAY have anti-abuse rules for invoice collection?

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.

How much does it cost to pre-order an alternative to motive.dot?

Pre-ordering an alternative to motive.dot costs the standard $100 per name on domain.pay, and a failed attempt is refundable. That flat pricing makes it easy to pursue several motive.dot candidates at once. See pricing 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.
