Frequently asked questions about shortfall.dot

What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for donation payments?

.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.

Does shortfall.dot require a separate account to upload my SMD?

You complete the SMD upload for shortfall.dot within the NicNames registration flow, which guides you through providing the file and your details. The trademark-priority step for shortfall.dot happens in that same flow rather than a separate portal. Begin and upload your SMD at https://domain.pay/register.

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.

Is .PAY a good fit for subscription billing for an insurance billing portal?

.PAY can work for subscription billing, account payment, renewal and failed-payment recovery flows. Search brandable options on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. A clear .PAY label can reduce confusion when customers need to update payment details.
