Frequently asked questions about scholarships.dot

For BNPL checkout, 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.

Which is better for branding, scholarships.dot.pay or scholarships.dot.com?

For payments and fintech, scholarships.dot reads as purpose-built and can be more memorable than a crowded .com, while a .com carries broad familiarity. Many brands secure both and redirect one. Technically they rank and resolve the same, so choose scholarships.dot based on brand fit, not SEO.

As an event ticketing business, what is the quickest path to secure a .PAY domain for an event ticketing business?

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.

Is the premium label for scholarships.dot permanent?

No — premium is a registry classification from Amazon Registry Services that can be revised, so scholarships.dot won't necessarily stay premium forever. Likewise a standard label could become premium. Because registry status can change, re-check scholarships.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

How do I know if merchant.pay is available for online checkout?

Search the exact .PAY label at domain.pay to see current availability and premium status: https://domain.pay/domains. Availability can change quickly during launch phases, so verify before publishing names, ads or product screens.

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.
