Frequently asked questions about shelves.dot
For fraud prevention, 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.
Is shelves.dot eligible for the standard pre-order?
Most open labels are eligible for the $100 standard pre-order, but if shelves.dot is premium the registry's special price applies instead, and reserved or blocked labels can't be pre-ordered. Confirm shelves.dot's eligibility — status can change — at https://domain.pay/domains.
Are short .PAY names always available when choosing settle.pay?
Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.
How does shelves.dot help a pop-up donation drive?
A quick donation drive can stand up a giving page on shelves.dot in minutes, sharing one memorable address. The .PAY name reads as a trusted place to give across flyers and posts. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.
Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for digital wallets?
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.
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.
