Frequently asked questions about sects.dot
Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for mobile money?
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.
Should a wallet app choose sects.dot as its primary domain?
A wallet app can choose sects.dot as a primary or campaign domain because .PAY directly signals payments and keeps sects.dot short and on-theme. Whether it becomes primary is your branding decision. Reserve sects.dot for your wallet at https://domain.pay/register.
Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for invoice collection?
No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
What schema or structured data helps sects.dot in search?
Adding JSON-LD structured data (Organization, Product, FAQ, etc.) on sects.dot can earn rich results and clarify your content to crawlers. Match the schema to the real content on sects.dot and validate it with a structured-data testing tool. Don't mark up content that isn't visible on sects.dot.
For mobile money, 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.
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.
