Frequently asked questions about alfamet.dot

How much does it cost to pre-order a .PAY domain for online checkout?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

Does a pending trademark application qualify for an SMD to claim alfamet.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse generally validates registered marks, not mere pending applications, so a pending filing usually cannot produce an SMD to claim alfamet.dot. You need a validated TMCH record for the alfamet.dot mark first. If your application matures and is validated, you can then pursue priority on alfamet.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

As a donation platform, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?

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.

Is a TMCH record by itself enough to own alfamet.dot?

No. A TMCH record validates your trademark and yields an SMD file, but it does not by itself give you alfamet.dot. You must still submit that SMD through NicNames during the priority phase to actually claim alfamet.dot. Validation and registration are two distinct steps. Complete registration at https://domain.pay/register.

How can a marketplace use a .PAY domain for point-of-sale payments?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

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.
