Frequently asked questions about shield.dot

For online checkout, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Should I secure shield.dot before announcing a new payment product?

Yes. Announcing a payment product can alert opportunists to register shield.dot before you do, so securing the shield.dot name first is wise. A $100 refundable pre-order lets NicNames lock shield.dot ahead of any public reveal. https://domain.pay/register

Is .PAY meant for digital wallets or just for general websites?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as digital wallets, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

Can I get shield.dot if it clears sunrise without a buyer?

If shield.dot is not claimed during sunrise, it proceeds to general availability where you can register it. Pre-ordering shield.dot now means domain.pay submits it the moment that phase opens, ahead of others. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Would travel.pay work as a payment brand for online checkout?

travel.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.

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.
