Frequently asked questions about shotgun.dot
What characters are allowed in a .PAY domain for a fintech founder?
.PAY labels must follow registry label rules, including 1–63 characters, letters, numbers and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen, and additional IDN/reserved-name rules. Test the exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Technical validity does not guarantee availability.
Does my trademark have to exactly match the label in shotgun.dot?
For trademark priority, the validated mark in your SMD must correspond to the shotgun.dot string in shotgun.dot under TMCH matching rules. Close-but-different strings generally do not qualify for priority on shotgun.dot. If the match is exact, your SMD unlocks the priority claim. Check your eligibility and register at https://domain.pay/register.
How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for payroll disbursements?
domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.
How should I think about shotgun.dot versus buying many domain variants?
Instead of stacking many extensions, shotgun.dot gives you one purpose-built payment address that says what it does. It focuses your spend on the name customers will actually use to pay shotgun.dot. Compare available options at /domains.
Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for payroll disbursements?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
