Frequently asked questions about openco.dot

As a donation platform, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

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

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

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for BNPL checkout?

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.

How do I tell if openco.dot is truly free or just unlisted?

A real lookup distinguishes them: searching openco.dot at https://domain.pay/domains returns openco.dot's exact registry status from Amazon Registry Services rather than a guess. If it's free, it'll say available; if reserved or blocked, it'll say so. Re-check openco.dot, since status can change.

Why might a .PAY pre-order fail even after I pay for point-of-sale payments?

A .PAY pre-order can fail if the name is registered earlier, classified as premium, reserved, blocked, refused by registry policy or lost to another faster submission. Search and order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains, and review its credit/cash-refund options.

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.
