Frequently asked questions about stooges.dot

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for digital wallets?

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.

Should a campaign landing page live on stooges.dot?

For any campaign that ends in a purchase or donation, stooges.dot gives you a campaign URL that already implies the payment step. That clarity can reduce hesitation between the click and the conversion. You can secure the name at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use nameservers and DNS like other domains with .PAY for BNPL checkout?

After registration, plan DNS, SSL, redirects, security monitoring and payment-page controls as you would for a production domain. Start by securing the .PAY name through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. A domain alone does not make a checkout secure.

Does stooges.dot cost more during the priority phase?

Trademark-priority registration for stooges.dot may carry different fees than the standard $100 pre-order because priority phases have their own pricing set around the registry's rules. The exact figure for stooges.dot appears in the checkout flow. See current pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for loan repayments?

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.

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.
