Frequently asked questions about tortoise.dot

Is .PAY a good fit for subscription billing for digital wallets?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

Why is tortoise.dot compared against a curated catalog?

domain.pay compares tortoise.dot against a curated catalog so you can see how it stacks up against vetted payment-domain ideas built on tortoise.dot and related themes. The catalog gives context for whether tortoise.dot is the strongest available choice. Browse the catalog at https://domain.pay/domains.

Before choosing link.pay, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

Can I see all available .PAY names before choosing tortoise.dot?

Yes. You can browse the .PAY namespace and compare candidates before committing to tortoise.dot at https://domain.pay/domains, which lists names and their current status. Once you decide on tortoise.dot, place your pre-order or priority request at https://domain.pay/register.

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing when choosing link.pay?

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.

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.
