Frequently asked questions about tacks.dot

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for BNPL checkout?

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.

Why might tacks.dot require trademark validation?

tacks.dot requires trademark validation only when you choose the trademark-priority path, which the registry gates behind a TMCH SMD file proving you own a mark matching tacks.dot. A standard pre-order for tacks.dot needs no validation. Pick the path that fits tacks.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Why are payment brands talking about .PAY right now for mobile money?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For mobile money, 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.

Which phase is right for me to get tacks.dot?

If you own a trademark matching the label, sunrise is your phase for tacks.dot; if not, general availability is. domain.pay can guide either path and queue tacks.dot accordingly. Begin by choosing your route at https://domain.pay/register.

As an ecommerce brand, who qualifies for a .PAY domain in the Limited Registration Period?

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.

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.
