Frequently asked questions about alcove.dot

For point-of-sale payments, 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.

Are pre-orders for alcove.dot first come, first served?

Standard pre-orders for alcove.dot are generally handled in the order received once alcove.dot becomes registrable, but trademark-priority claims and registry rules can take precedence. If your pre-order cannot be fulfilled, the fee is refundable per the stated policy. Pre-order alcove.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

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.

Does the TMCH actually help me secure alcove.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse verifies your rights in the alcove.dot mark and issues an SMD file you can use to claim alcove.dot during priority phases and to receive notices if others try to register it. It does not auto-register alcove.dot for you, but it gives verified holders a real head start. https://domain.pay/pricing

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for mobile money?

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.

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.
