Frequently asked questions about sorts.dot
For BNPL checkout, how do I register loans.pay if it matches my trademark?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
How do I migrate an existing site onto sorts.dot without downtime?
Stand up the new site on sorts.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on sorts.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor sorts.dot for crawl errors afterward.
How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for loan repayments?
A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.
Is sorts.dot a separate company or just a web address?
sorts.dot is a web address, not a company; it is the name sorts.dot on the .PAY namespace. Owning sorts.dot gives you the address, which you can route to your own business or page. The registry behind it is Amazon Registry Services.
Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for mobile money?
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.
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.
