Frequently asked questions about arguments.pay

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for BNPL checkout?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

How do I set up email on arguments.pay?

To send and receive mail at arguments.pay, choose a mailbox provider, then add their MX records to your DNS plus SPF, DKIM, and DMARC TXT records for deliverability. Mail won't flow until the MX records for arguments.pay propagate. Manage the domain's DNS from /domains.

Can Amazon Registry reserve or block some .PAY names for BNPL checkout?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

Should a contractor invoice through arguments.pay?

A contractor can send job invoices that resolve to arguments.pay, giving homeowners a clear, professional place to pay. The .PAY name looks more trustworthy than a personal payment-app handle. Reserve it at https://domain.pay/register.

As a regional bank, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

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.
