How do I add Google Analytics tracking to shortening.dot?

Is .PAY meant for point-of-sale payments or just for general websites?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as point-of-sale payments, 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/.

Does shortening.dot require an active website?

shortening.dot does not require a live website to register, though the .PAY registry's expectations focus on payment-related, good-faith use. You can secure shortening.dot now and build later. domain.pay can register and park it for you; begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Can .PAY be used for a branded checkout URL for point-of-sale payments?

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.

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.
