Frequently asked questions about theriver.dot

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for online checkout for online checkout?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Can theriver.dot host a freelancer's payment page?

Yes. A freelancer can send clients to theriver.dot to settle invoices on a polished, payment-native address rather than a generic profile link. It looks more professional and is easy to repeat over the phone. Claim yours at https://domain.pay/register.

What disputes can affect a .PAY Sunrise name for donation payments?

.PAY Sunrise registrations can be subject to Sunrise dispute procedures if the registration or denial violates the Sunrise criteria. Start by checking your own label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register, and coordinate with trademark counsel for formal dispute strategy.

Does theriver.dot need anti-money-laundering compliance?

Holding theriver.dot itself does not impose anti-money-laundering duties, but if you operate regulated payment services your jurisdiction's AML rules may apply independently of the domain. The .PAY registry validates use, not your AML program. domain.pay clarifies registry expectations at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order for fraud prevention?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

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.
