Frequently asked questions about narration.dot
How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for point-of-sale payments?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
Can narration.dot simply redirect to my existing payment processor?
Yes. Many owners point narration.dot as a redirect to a Stripe, PayPal, or custom checkout link, so customers see the clean narration.dot address while the processor handles the transaction. You keep your existing setup and gain a memorable front door. Register narration.dot at /register.
Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for fraud prevention?
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.
What happens if narration.dot fails validation?
If narration.dot fails the .PAY registry's validation, the registration may not activate and, for a pre-order, the amount can be refundable per policy. domain.pay explains why a validation failed where possible and helps you respond. Review terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for fraud prevention?
If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY 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.
