Frequently asked questions about shadows.dot

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for payroll disbursements?

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.

How does domain.pay handle the timing of my shadows.dot request?

domain.pay stages your shadows.dot pre-order and submits it to the registry the instant the correct phase opens, removing the need for you to watch the clock. For trademark holders it targets sunrise; for everyone else, first-day general availability. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app for BNPL checkout?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

Is the $100 price for shadows.dot a one-time or yearly fee?

The $100 standard rate for shadows.dot is an annual registration fee that recurs each year on renewal for standard labels. Premium shadows.dot names renew at their higher premium fee instead. Check the recurring cost for shadows.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For crypto payments, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
