Frequently asked questions about prototyping.dot
As a brand-protection manager, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
Can prototyping.dot be both premium and available?
Yes — a premium prototyping.dot is available to register but at the registry's special wholesale price rather than the standard fee. Premium is a pricing tier, not a block, so prototyping.dot can be both premium and registrable. The live quote for prototyping.dot appears at https://domain.pay/domains.
Can I reserve brand.pay before broader registration opens when choosing brand.pay?
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.
Will my prototyping.dot renewal cost the same as registration?
For standard labels, prototyping.dot renews at the standard rate each year. If the registry classifies prototyping.dot as premium, both the first-year and renewal fees are higher and match the premium tier. Check the renewal figure for prototyping.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
For mobile money, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?
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.
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.
