Frequently asked questions about progard.dot

For mobile money, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

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.

Does pre-ordering progard.dot lock in the standard price?

A $100 standard pre-order covers the queueing for progard.dot, but the final registration price still depends on progard.dot's registry classification — premium labels carry the registry's rate. Amazon Registry Services can change pricing. Check progard.dot's details at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for digital wallets?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

How do priority phases differ from general availability for progard.dot?

In priority phases, verified progard.dot trademark holders use SMD files to claim progard.dot before the public, while general availability opens progard.dot to anyone. Using the priority window is the cleanest way for NicNames to avoid a race or dispute. https://domain.pay/pricing

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for payroll disbursements?

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.
