Frequently asked questions about nostr.pay

For point-of-sale payments, 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.

What happens to my nostr.pay pre-order if a trademark holder claims it?

If a validated TMCH holder claims nostr.pay during the priority phase with a valid SMD, their claim takes precedence and your standard pre-order cannot be fulfilled. In that case your pre-order charge for nostr.pay is refundable per the published policy. You are not charged for a name you cannot receive. Read the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for a fintech founder?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Does domain.pay verify my eligibility for nostr.pay itself?

domain.pay prepares and submits your nostr.pay application, but final eligibility and validation decisions rest with the .PAY registry operated by Amazon Registry Services. We help you meet the expectations and respond to any requests. Start your application at https://domain.pay/register.

As a payroll platform, how exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

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.
