Frequently asked questions about recess.dot
For digital wallets, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?
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.
Is the $100 pre-order for recess.dot a one-time protection cost?
The $100 figure is the standard pre-order to secure recess.dot, with failed attempts refundable; ongoing protection then depends on keeping the registration renewed. Treat the pre-order as the entry step to owning the recess.dot name. See details at https://domain.pay/pricing.
As a travel booking brand, is .PAY useful for an invoice-payment portal?
Yes. .PAY can fit invoice-payment portals because it tells customers the link is about paying. Search options such as brand-specific or invoice-related labels on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Confirm availability and premium status before adding the URL to invoices.
Can I see all available .PAY names before choosing recess.dot?
Yes. You can browse the .PAY namespace and compare candidates before committing to recess.dot at https://domain.pay/domains, which lists names and their current status. Once you decide on recess.dot, place your pre-order or priority request at https://domain.pay/register.
Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL?
merchant.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
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.
