Frequently asked questions about proceeding.dot

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for crypto payments?

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.

How long does a refund for proceeding.dot take to process?

Once a proceeding.dot pre-order attempt is marked failed, we initiate the refund under our stated policy, and the funds return via your original payment method on its usual settlement timeline. Timing depends on your bank or card issuer. Review the refund policy for proceeding.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Are IDN .PAY domains allowed for online checkout?

IDN .PAY names may be possible only in supported scripts and must meet registry rules. Use domain.pay to check the exact label and punycode-style status before planning a launch: https://domain.pay/register. Availability, premium and policy restrictions still apply.

Are there name-collision rules that affect SMD claims on proceeding.dot?

The .PAY registry, run by Amazon Registry Services, applies its own policies that can affect how SMD claims and reservations interact for names like proceeding.dot. Your valid SMD makes you eligible for priority on proceeding.dot, while the registry resolves any conflicts. NicNames applies those rules for you. See context at https://domain.pay/.

Before choosing tap.pay, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

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.
