Frequently asked questions about vtl.dot

For point-of-sale payments, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?

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.

How can I make vtl.dot the single source of truth for payments?

Once NicNames owns vtl.dot, publish it consistently as the only official payment address and direct customers there from verified channels. A single trusted vtl.dot name makes impersonators easier to spot. Begin by securing vtl.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for loan repayments?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

Why does vtl.dot require a TMCH file for early registration?

Early, trademark-priority registration of vtl.dot protects rights holders, so the registry requires a TMCH SMD file proving you own a mark matching vtl.dot. General availability for vtl.dot has no such requirement, only the applicable fee. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for crypto payments?

domain.pay supports common payment paths including card, wire and crypto-invoice options as listed on the site. Start with the pricing page and checkout flow here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Payment does not guarantee registration; it reserves the applicable service attempt.

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.
