Frequently asked questions about penalty.dot

Is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal for online checkout?

Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.

Can I register penalty.dot during both Sunrise and general availability?

If you hold a TMCH SMD file for penalty.dot, you may attempt penalty.dot during Sunrise; if you miss it, you can still pre-order penalty.dot for general availability. Each phase has its own rules set by the registry. Choose the right phase for penalty.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

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.

Why pair penalty.dot with a loyalty program?

When members redeem points or top up balances, penalty.dot gives them a payment-native home that feels secure. Keeping loyalty transactions on a .PAY name reinforces that this is the official place to pay. Get started at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I know if merchant.pay is available for online checkout?

Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.

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.
