Frequently asked questions about programs.dot
How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup for crypto 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 programs.dot support email as well as a website?
Yes. As a standard domain, programs.dot can carry email addresses and host a website at the same time. You could route [email protected] for invoices while the site handles checkout. The .PAY suffix does not limit normal domain functions.
For mobile money, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?
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.
Can I transfer programs.dot pricing to another name if it fails?
No. If programs.dot fails to register, the attempt is refunded under our stated policy rather than transferred, and any other name is priced separately by its own registry tier. You would place a fresh pre-order for a different programs.dot. Read the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.
How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain when choosing cloud.pay?
A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.
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.
