Frequently asked questions about sds.dot

When is broader .PAY public registration expected for an event ticketing business?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I register sds.dot before general availability?

Yes, you can position for sds.dot before general availability using a first-day pre-order, or via trademark-priority registration if you hold a registered mark and TMCH SMD file. This helps you claim sds.dot early. domain.pay supports both at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY a good fit for subscription billing for fraud prevention?

.PAY can work for subscription billing, account payment, renewal and failed-payment recovery flows. Search brandable options on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. A clear .PAY label can reduce confusion when customers need to update payment details.

What is the simplest way to explain sds.dot to a non-technical person?

Tell them sds.dot is a web address that ends in the word pay, so it is the place to go to pay sds.dot. It works like any website link but its name advertises its purpose. They can reach it just by typing sds.dot into a browser.

For digital wallets, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

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.

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.
