Frequently asked questions about viru.dot

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 for fraud prevention?

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.

Will NicNames store my SMD file after registering viru.dot?

NicNames uses your SMD file to validate and process your priority claim on viru.dot during registration. The SMD itself is tied to your TMCH record, which the Clearinghouse maintains independently. Handle your SMD securely since it represents your validated rights to viru.dot. Begin registration at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I start if I need brand-protection help for .PAY for invoice collection?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

Will viru.dot be available immediately when .PAY launches?

When the relevant phase opens, viru.dot becomes registrable, but availability for any one buyer depends on competing requests. A pre-order ensures domain.pay submits viru.dot at that immediate opening rather than after the rush. Stage it at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for BNPL checkout?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

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.
