Frequently asked questions about upside.dot
For payroll disbursements, can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?
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.
Why use domain.pay instead of waiting for upside.dot?
Waiting to register upside.dot risks losing it to someone who pre-ordered or to a trademark holder in sunrise. domain.pay queues your upside.dot request in advance and submits it at the optimal moment, refunding failed attempts per policy. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app for a fintech founder?
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.
