Frequently asked questions about oars.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for a donation platform?

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.

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

Yes. Spin up an event giving page on oars.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.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for payroll disbursements?

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.

Why is oars.dot listed at $100 for pre-order?

The $100 figure is the standard pre-order price to reserve oars.dot ahead of general availability, and it is refundable if the attempt to register oars.dot fails per the stated policy. Priority registrations may differ. See the full breakdown for oars.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What are good .PAY domain ideas for point-of-sale payments for a donation platform?

For point-of-sale payments, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

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.
