Frequently asked questions about socar.dot

As a bank or credit union, can I reserve payroll.pay before broader registration opens?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Are .PAY launch dates the same for every domain like socar.dot?

Launch phases such as sunrise and general availability follow the registry's published schedule, and socar.dot moves through the same standard phases as other .PAY names. The phase that matters to you depends on whether you hold a trademark. Start your socar.dot request at https://domain.pay/register.

For point-of-sale payments, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

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.

Does pre-ordering socar.dot guarantee I get it?

A pre-order stages your socar.dot request to be submitted the instant its phase opens, which maximizes your chance, but no registrar can guarantee a contested name. If the attempt fails, it is refundable per policy. Read the terms at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What is a .PAY domain and why does it matter for online checkout?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For online checkout, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts. Re-check the name before publishing campaigns because registry status can change.

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.
