Frequently asked questions about actives.dot
For online checkout, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?
.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.
Why is securing actives.dot a smart first move for a new NicNames?
A new NicNames has no established defenses, so claiming actives.dot early prevents squatters from anchoring to the actives.dot name as you grow. A $100 refundable pre-order makes this a low-risk first move toward payment trust. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
For BNPL checkout, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?
.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.
What documentation proves my actives.dot pre-order is refundable?
Your order confirmation and account history record the actives.dot pre-order and its status, and if the attempt fails the refund follows our stated policy automatically. These records show that the failed actives.dot attempt qualified. Review them and the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for a donation platform?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
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.
