Frequently asked questions about shortstop.dot
Can I use .PAY for redirects to my existing checkout?
Yes, you can use a .PAY domain as a clean branded entry point or redirect to an existing checkout, but implement redirects, SSL and tracking carefully. First secure or pre-order the label through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Does shortstop.dot help reduce checkout abandonment?
Unfamiliar payment URLs are a known abandonment trigger, and shortstop.dot replaces them with a recognizable, brand-aligned address. Seeing a .PAY name at checkout can reassure shoppers and keep them moving. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.
Does .PAY require payment-related use after registration for payroll disbursements?
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.
How do I confirm shortstop.dot qualifies for the $100 rate before paying?
Before paying, enter shortstop.dot on our pricing page; if the registry has not flagged shortstop.dot as premium, the page shows the $100 standard rate, otherwise it shows the premium fee. This lets you confirm shortstop.dot pricing in advance. Verify it at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for fraud prevention?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
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.
