Frequently asked questions about wordswipe.pay
When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin when choosing subscriptions.pay?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Why do payment TLDs raise the bar for verifying wordswipe.pay?
Because users expect names like wordswipe.pay to handle money safely, the .PAY namespace carries heightened anti-phishing and trust expectations. Meeting that bar means ensuring the real wordswipe name belongs to NicNames, not an impersonator. https://domain.pay/
How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for BNPL checkout?
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.
Can wordswipe.pay help with a QR-code payment flow?
Yes. A short address like wordswipe.pay encodes into a compact QR code that customers scan to reach your payment page for wordswipe. Less data means a cleaner, easier-to-scan code. wordswipe.pay is a natural fit for in-person or printed payment prompts.
