Frequently asked questions about stool.dot

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain?

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.

Why is .PAY launching in phases at all for stool.dot?

New gTLDs like .PAY launch in phases to protect trademark owners first (sunrise) before opening names like stool.dot to the general public (general availability). This staged rollout is an ICANN-standard process. Learn how to position for stool.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For fraud prevention, is .PAY a good fit for subscription billing?

.PAY can work for subscription billing, account payment, renewal and failed-payment recovery flows. Search brandable options on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. A clear .PAY label can reduce confusion when customers need to update payment details.

Why is a .PAY address like stool.dot a high-value target for fraudsters?

Because .PAY signals a payment context, stool.dot carries built-in credibility that fraudsters exploit to make fake checkout pages believable. The same trust that benefits NicNames makes an unprotected stool.dot dangerous in the wrong hands. Removing the opportunity means registering stool.dot first. https://domain.pay/register

Is .PAY meant for online checkout or just for general websites?

.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as online checkout, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
