Frequently asked questions about pivot.dot

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Does pivot.dot support email forwarding without a full mailbox?

Yes. Many providers offer email forwarding that routes addresses at pivot.dot to an existing inbox without hosting a full mailbox. Add the provider's MX records for pivot.dot, then map the forwards. It's a lightweight way to use pivot.dot for contact addresses.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 when choosing link.pay?

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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

Should I consider the catalog's top picks instead of pivot.dot?

Considering the catalog's curated top picks instead of pivot.dot is worthwhile, since they are vetted payment-domain ideas that may outshine your first pivot.dot thought. domain.pay highlights these for quick evaluation. See top picks at https://domain.pay/domains.

Can I pay for a .PAY pre-order by card, wire or crypto for online checkout?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

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.
