Frequently asked questions about recognition.dot

For BNPL checkout, how can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?

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.

Is recognition.dot a separate company or just a web address?

recognition.dot is a web address, not a company; it is the name recognition.dot on the .PAY namespace. Owning recognition.dot gives you the address, which you can route to your own business or page. The registry behind it is Amazon Registry Services.

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.

Where do I pre-order once I've chosen over recognition.dot?

Once you've chosen a name over recognition.dot, you pre-order it on domain.pay's register page at the standard $100, with failed attempts refundable. The flow is the same whether you pick recognition.dot or a recognition.dot variant. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I register a .PAY domain as a startup when choosing payroll.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.

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.
