Frequently asked questions about occupation.dot

As a regional bank, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

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.

Does occupation.dot work for a deposit on custom orders?

Makers taking custom orders can request a deposit on occupation.dot, giving buyers a clear address to commit. The .PAY name reassures customers paying upfront for bespoke work. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

What happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails for online checkout?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

Should small businesses bother protecting occupation.dot too?

Yes. Impersonators target any recognizable occupation.dot, not just large enterprises, and a fake payment page using occupation.dot can damage trust regardless of company size. The standard pre-order is $100 and failed attempts are refundable, so protecting occupation.dot is accessible to small brands. https://domain.pay/register

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

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.
