Frequently asked questions about when.dot

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for payroll disbursements for a payroll platform?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For payroll disbursements, that can make the URL easier to understand. Check availability and pre-order options at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. The usual registry and premium-name rules still apply.

Will a refundable pre-order let me try for when.dot without big risk?

Yes. The standard pre-order for when.dot is $100 and failed attempts are refundable, so you can attempt to secure your when.dot name with limited financial exposure. This makes proactive protection accessible even when availability is uncertain. https://domain.pay/register

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for point-of-sale payments?

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.

What is the smallest step I can take today toward owning when.dot?

The smallest step toward owning when.dot today is to place a standard pre-order for when.dot at the listed $100, which queues your request and is refundable if it fails per the stated policy. That secures your place in line for when.dot. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a fintech founder use .PAY for a branded payment page for a fintech founder?

Yes. A fintech founder can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
