.PAY is a new gTLD for payment, checkout, billing and fintech-style use cases. domain.pay is the place to search, pre-order or begin a trademark route: https://domain.pay/. Check the name before using it in campaigns.

How do I set up a wildcard certificate for *.smartgate.dot?

Request a wildcard certificate covering *.smartgate.dot, which most CAs issue via DNS validation by checking a TXT record on smartgate.dot. A wildcard then secures every subdomain of smartgate.dot with one cert. Remember the wildcard for smartgate.dot does not cover the bare apex, so include it explicitly.

For payroll disbursements, is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

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.
