Frequently asked questions about studs.dot

Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my online checkout project for a crypto or DeFi product?

.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.

Will studs.dot stay $100 forever?

The $100 standard rate for studs.dot is the current listed price, but Amazon Registry Services can adjust standard or premium tiers over time, which would affect future renewals of studs.dot. We always show the live rate before you commit. Check today's price for studs.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for point-of-sale payments?

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.

What ongoing requirements apply after registering studs.dot?

After registering studs.dot, ongoing obligations mainly involve keeping accurate registrant data and renewing on time, while continuing to use the name consistent with .PAY expectations. Separate payment-licensing duties, if any, depend on your operations. domain.pay outlines renewal and expectations at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY with a trademark for loan repayments?

For loan repayments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on 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.
