Frequently asked questions about openalpha.dot

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout for a travel booking brand?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Will premium status change my refund amount for openalpha.dot?

If a premium openalpha.dot pre-order fails, the refund under our stated policy returns whatever you were charged, so a higher premium openalpha.dot fee is refunded in full rather than at the $100 standard amount. The refund matches your actual charge. Read the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for mobile money?

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.

What happens to my pre-order if openalpha.dot is reserved at launch?

If openalpha.dot turns out reserved or blocked at launch and can't be allocated to you, the pre-order can't complete and the fee is refundable per policy. Registry decisions rest with Amazon Registry Services. Place your openalpha.dot pre-order, terms and all, at https://domain.pay/register.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for a bank or credit union?

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.

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.
