Frequently asked questions about aapc.dot

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for point-of-sale payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Why pre-order aapc.dot before the sunrise window?

Pre-ordering aapc.dot before the sunrise window opens means domain.pay has everything staged to submit the instant trademark-priority registration begins, leaving no gap. For brand owners this protects aapc.dot early. Prepare at https://domain.pay/register.

What are good .PAY domain ideas for online checkout for online checkout?

For online checkout, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.

Is there a notice system that warns me if aapc.dot is being registered?

Yes. The TMCH Claims Service sends notices when someone attempts to register a name matching your recorded aapc.dot mark, such as aapc.dot, during the applicable period. This gives NicNames early warning, though acting first is still strongest. https://domain.pay/pricing

How is a .PAY name different from a regular .com for point-of-sale payments?

A .PAY name immediately signals a payment-related destination, while .com is more general. For point-of-sale payments, 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.

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.
