Frequently asked questions about photons.dot

As a mobile wallet team, 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 might photons.dot need a claims acknowledgment before registration?

photons.dot may need a claims acknowledgment if photons.dot matches a Trademark Clearinghouse record during the claims period, confirming you are aware of the trademark holder's rights. The domain.pay flow walks you through this for photons.dot. Continue your photons.dot request at https://domain.pay/register.

Who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period for an ecommerce brand?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

Will I be told why photons.dot validation failed?

Where possible, domain.pay relays the .PAY registry's reason if photons.dot validation fails, so you can correct details or respond. Some registry decisions may include limited detail. If a pre-order attempt fails, it is refundable per policy; see https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I browse alternative .PAY names if my first choice is taken for fraud prevention?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

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.
